This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

For larger devices, the array of bitmap page pointers can grow very
large (8000 pointers per TB of storage).
For each activity log transaction, we need to flush the associated
bitmap pages to stable storage. Currently, we just "mark" the respective
pages while setting up the transaction, then tell the bitmap code to
write out all marked pages, but skip unchanged pages.
But one such transaction can affect only a small number of bitmap pages,
there is no need to scan the full array of several (ten-)thousand
page pointers to find the few marked ones.
Instead, remember the index numbers of the few affected pages,
and later only re-check those to skip duplicates and unchanged ones.

During handshake communication, we also reconsider our device size,
using drbd_determine_dev_size(). Just in case we need to change the
offsets or layout of our on-disk metadata, we lock out application
and other meta data IO, and wait for the activity log to be "idle"
(no more referenced extents).
If this handshake happens just after a connection loss, with a fencing
policy of "resource-and-stonith", we have frozen IO.
If, additionally, the activity log was "starving" (too many incoming
random writes at that point in time), it won't become idle, ever,
because of the frozen IO, and this would be a lockup of the receiver
thread, and consquentially of DRBD.
Previous logic (re-)initialized with a special "empty" transaction
block, which required the activity log to fully drain first.
Instead, write out some standard activity log transactions.
Using lc_try_lock_for_transaction() instead of lc_try_lock() does not
care about pending activity log references, avoiding the potential
deadlock.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

During resync, if we need to block some specific incoming write because
of active resync requests to that same range, we potentially caused
*all* new application writes (to "cold" activity log extents) to block
until this one request has been processed.
Improve the do_submit() logic to
* grab all incoming requests to some "incoming" list
* process this list
- move aside requests that are blocked by resync
- prepare activity log transactions,
- commit transactions and submit corresponding requests
- if there are remaining requests that only wait for
activity log extents to become free, stop the fast path
(mark activity log as "starving")
- iterate until no more requests are waiting for the activity log,
but all potentially remaining requests are only blocked by resync
* only then grab new incoming requests
That way, very busy IO on currently "hot" activity log extents cannot
starve scattered IO to "cold" extents. And blocked-by-resync requests
are processed once resync traffic on the affected region has ceased,
without blocking anything else.
The only blocking mode left is when we cannot start requests to "cold"
extents because all currently "hot" extents are actually used.

This fixes one recent regresion,
and one long existing bug.
The bug:
drbd_try_clear_on_disk_bm() assumed that all "count" bits have to be
accounted in the resync extent corresponding to the start sector.
Since we allow application requests to cross our "extent" boundaries,
this assumption is no longer true, resulting in possible misaccounting,
scary messages
("BAD! sector=12345s enr=6 rs_left=-7 rs_failed=0 count=58 cstate=..."),
and potentially, if the last bit to be cleared during resync would
reside in previously misaccounted resync extent, the resync would never
be recognized as finished, but would be "stalled" forever, even though
all blocks are in sync again and all bits have been cleared...
The regression was introduced by
drbd: get rid of atomic update on disk bitmap works
For an "empty" resync (rs_total == 0), we must not "finish" the
resync on the SyncSource before the SyncTarget knows all relevant
information (sync uuid). We need to wait for the full round-trip,
the SyncTarget will then explicitly notify us.
Also for normal, non-empty resyncs (rs_total > 0), the resync-finished
condition needs to be tested before the schedule() in wait_for_work, or
it is likely to be missed.

When batching more updates to the activity log into single transactions,
we lost the ability for new requests to force themselves into the active
set: all preparation steps became non-blocking, and if all currently
hot extents keep busy, they could starve out new incoming requests
to cold extents for quite a while.
This can only happen if your IO backend accepts more IO operations per
average DRBD replication round trip time than you have al-extents
configured.
If we have incoming requests to cold extents,
at least do one blocking update per transaction.
In an artificial worst-case workload on SSD with an asynchronous 600 ms
replication link, with al-extents = 7 (the minimum we allow), and
concurrent full resynch, without this patch, some write requests have
been observed to be starved for 40 seconds.
With this patch, application observed a worst case latency of twice the
replication round trip time.
