The type name enum req_opf is misleading since it suggests that values of
this type include both an operation type and flags. Since values of this
type represent an operation only, change the type name into enum req_op.
Convert the enum req_op documentation into kernel-doc format. Move a few
definitions such that the enum req_op documentation occurs just above
the enum req_op definition.
The name "req_opf" was introduced by commit ef295ecf09 ("block: better op
and flags encoding").

The bio and rq fields of struct nullb_cmd are now overlapping in a
union. So we cannot use a test on ->bio being non-NULL to detect the
NULL_Q_BIO queue mode. null_zone_write() use such broken test to set the
sector position of a zone append write in the command bio or request.
When the null_blk device uses the NULL_Q_MQ queue mode,
null_zone_write() wrongly end up setting the bio sector position,
resulting in the command request to be broken and random crashes
following.
Fix this by testing the device queue mode directly.

Currently, the directory name used to create a nullb device through
sysfs is not used as the device name, potentially causing headaches for
users if devices are already created through the modprobe operation
withe the nr_device module parameter not set to 0. E.g. a user can do
"mkdir /sys/kernel/config/nullb/nullb0" to create a nullb device even
though /dev/nullb0 was already created by modprobe. In this case, the
configfs nullb device will be named nullb1, causing confusion for the
user.
Simplify this by using the configfs directory name as the nullb device
name, always, unless another nullb device is already using the same
name. E.g. if modprobe created nullb0, then:
$ mkdir /sys/kernel/config/nullb/nullb0
mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/kernel/config/nullb/nullb0': File
exists
will be reported to the user.
To implement this, the function null_find_dev_by_name() is added to
check for the existence of a nullb device with the name used for a new
configfs device directory. nullb_group_make_item() uses this new
function to check if the directory name can be used as the disk name.
Finally, null_add_dev() is modified to use the device config item name
as the disk name for a new nullb device created using configfs.
The naming of devices created though modprobe remains unchanged.
Of note is that it is possible for a user to create through configfs a
nullb device with the same name as an existing device. E.g.
$ mkdir /sys/kernel/config/nullb/null
will successfully create the nullb device named "null" but this block
device will however not appear under /dev/ since /dev/null already
exists.

Total 16 bytes can be saved in two ways:
1) The field 'bio' will only be used in bio based mode, and the field
'rq' will only be used in mq mode. Since they won't be used in the
same time, declare a union for them.
2) The field 'bool fake_timeout' can be placed in the hole after the
field 'error'.

Only caller of null_alloc_page() is null_insert_page() unconditionally
sets only parameter to GFP_NOIO and that is statically hard-coded in
null_blk. There is no point in having statically hardcoded function
parameter.
Remove the unnecessary parameter gfp_flags and adjust the code, so it
can retain existing behavior null_alloc_page() with GFP_NOIO.

Only caller of alloc_cmd() is null_submit_bio() unconditionally sets
second parameter to true and that is statically hard-coded in null_blk.
There is no point in having statically hardcoded function parameter.
Remove the unnecessary parameter can_wait and adjust the code so it
can retain existing behavior of waiting when we don't get valid
nullb_cmd from __alloc_cmd() in alloc_cmd().
The restructured code avoids multiple return statements, multiple
calls to __alloc_cmd() and resulting a fast path call to
prepare_to_wait() due to removal of first alloc_cmd() call.
Follow the pattern that we have in bio_alloc() to set the structure
members in the structure allocation function in alloc_cmd() and pass
bio to initialize newly allocated cmd->bio member.
Follow the pattern in copy_to_nullb() to use result of one function call
(null_cache_active()) to be used as a parameter to another function call
(null_insert_page()), use result of alloc_cmd() as a first parameter to
the null_handle_cmd() in null_submit_bio() function. This allow us to
remove the local variable cmd on stack in null_submit_bio() that is in
fast path.
