In the process of mindlessly copying [__]blk_end_request_all(),
[__]blk_end_request_cur() ended up returning void even though they're
partial completion functions. Fix it.

end_request() has been kept around for backward compatibility;
however, it's about time for it to go away.
* There aren't too many users left.
* Its use of @updtodate is pretty confusing.
* In some cases, newer code ends up using mixture of end_request() and
[__]blk_end_request[_all](), which is way too confusing.
So, add [__]blk_end_request_cur() and replace end_request() with it.
Most conversions are straightforward. Noteworthy ones are...
* paride/pcd: next_request() updated to take 0/-errno instead of 1/0.
* paride/pf: pf_end_request() and next_request() updated to take
0/-errno instead of 1/0.
* xd: xd_readwrite() updated to return 0/-errno instead of 1/0.
* mtd/mtd_blkdevs: blktrans_discard_request() updated to return
0/-errno instead of 1/0. Unnecessary local variable res
initialization removed from mtd_blktrans_thread().

There are many [__]blk_end_request() call sites which call it with
full request length and expect full completion. Many of them ensure
that the request actually completes by doing BUG_ON() the return
value, which is awkward and error-prone.
This patch adds [__]blk_end_request_all() which takes @rq and @error
and fully completes the request. BUG_ON() is added to to ensure that
this actually happens.
Most conversions are simple but there are a few noteworthy ones.
* cdrom/viocd: viocd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
__blk_end_request_all().
* s390/block/dasd: dasd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
__blk_end_request_all().
* s390/char/tape_block: tapeblock_end_request() replaced with direct
calls to blk_end_request_all().

Request completion has gone through several changes and became a bit
messy over the time. Clean it up.
1. end_that_request_data() is a thin wrapper around
end_that_request_data_first() which checks whether bio is NULL
before doing anything and handles bidi completion.
blk_update_request() is a thin wrapper around
end_that_request_data() which clears nr_sectors on the last
iteration but doesn't use the bidi completion.
Clean it up by moving the initial bio NULL check and nr_sectors
clearing on the last iteration into end_that_request_data() and
renaming it to blk_update_request(), which makes blk_end_io() the
only user of end_that_request_data(). Collapse
end_that_request_data() into blk_end_io().
2. There are four visible completion variants - blk_end_request(),
__blk_end_request(), blk_end_bidi_request() and end_request().
blk_end_request() and blk_end_bidi_request() uses blk_end_request()
as the backend but __blk_end_request() and end_request() use
separate implementation in __blk_end_request() due to different
locking rules.
blk_end_bidi_request() is identical to blk_end_io(). Collapse
blk_end_io() into blk_end_bidi_request(), separate out request
update into internal helper blk_update_bidi_request() and add
__blk_end_bidi_request(). Redefine [__]blk_end_request() as thin
inline wrappers around [__]blk_end_bidi_request().
3. As the whole request issue/completion usages are about to be
modified and audited, it's a good chance to convert completion
functions return bool which better indicates the intended meaning
of return values.
4. The function name end_that_request_last() is from the days when it
was a public interface and slighly confusing. Give it a proper
internal name - blk_finish_request().
5. Add description explaning that blk_end_bidi_request() can be safely
used for uni requests as suggested by Boaz Harrosh.
The only visible behavior change is from #1. nr_sectors counts are
cleared after the final iteration no matter which function is used to
complete the request. I couldn't find any place where the code
assumes those nr_sectors counters contain the values for the last
segment and this change is good as it makes the API much more
consistent as the end result is now same whether a request is
completed using [__]blk_end_request() alone or in combination with
blk_update_request().
API further cleaned up per Christoph's suggestion.

Reorder request completion functions such that
* All request completion functions are located together.
* Functions which are used by only one caller is put right above the
caller.
* end_request() is put after other completion functions but before
blk_update_request().
This change is for completion function cleanup which will follow.

This simplifies I/O stat accounting switching code and separates it
completely from I/O scheduler switch code.
Requests are accounted according to the state of their request queue
at the time of the request allocation. There is no need anymore to

The request inherits the unplug flag from the bio, but it isn't actually
used. The bio flag stops at __make_request(), which tells it to unplug
after submission. Passing it on to the request doesn't make any sense.

By default, CFQ will anticipate more IO from a given io context if the
previously completed IO was sync. This used to be fine, since the only
sync IO was reads and O_DIRECT writes. But with more "normal" sync writes
being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those.
Add a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync
request that we should not idle for. Introduce WRITE_ODIRECT specifically
for O_DIRECT writes, and make sure that the other sync writes set this
flag.

Empty barrier required special handling in __elv_next_request() to
complete it without letting the low level driver see it.

BAR step using the same barrier sequence selection mechanism. Drop
the special handling and mask off q->ordered from start_ordered().

Barrier completion had the following assumptions.
* start_ordered() couldn't finish the whole sequence properly. If all
actions are to be skipped, q->ordseq is set correctly but the actual
completion was never triggered thus hanging the barrier request.
* Drain completion in elv_complete_request() assumed that there's
always at least one request in the queue when drain completes.
Both assumptions are true but these assumptions need to be removed to
improve empty barrier implementation. This patch makes the following
changes.
* Make start_ordered() use blk_ordered_complete_seq() to mark skipped
steps complete and notify __elv_next_request() that it should fetch
the next request if the whole barrier has completed inside
start_ordered().
* Make drain completion path in elv_complete_request() check whether
the queue is empty. Empty queue also indicates drain completion.
* While at it, convert 0/1 return from blk_do_ordered() to false/true.
