bcache uses a Proportion-Differentiation Controller algorithm to control
writeback rate to cached devices. In the PD controller algorithm, dirty
stripes of thin flash device should not be counted in, because flash only
volumes never write back dirty data.
Currently dirty stripe counter for thin flash device is not initialized
when the thin flash device starts. Which means the following calculation
in PD controller will reference an undefined dirty stripes number, and
all cached devices attached to the same cache set where the thin flash
device lies on may have an inaccurate writeback rate.
This patch calles bch_sectors_dirty_init() in flash_dev_run(), to
correctly initialize dirty stripe counter when the thin flash device
starts to run. This patch also does following parameter data type change,
-void bch_sectors_dirty_init(struct cached_dev *dc);
+void bch_sectors_dirty_init(struct bcache_device *);
to call this function conveniently in flash_dev_run().

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.

This patch converts bioset_create() to not create a workqueue by
default, so alloctions will never trigger punt_bios_to_rescuer(). It
also introduces a new flag BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER which tells
bioset_create() to preserve the old behavior.
All callers of bioset_create() that are inside block device drivers,
are given the BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER flag.
biosets used by filesystems or other top-level users do not
need rescuing as the bio can never be queued behind other
bios. This includes fs_bio_set, blkdev_dio_pool,
btrfs_bioset, xfs_ioend_bioset, and one allocated by
target_core_iblock.c.
biosets used by md/raid do not need rescuing as
their usage was recently audited and revised to never
risk deadlock.
It is hoped that most, if not all, of the remaining biosets
can end up being the non-rescued version.

"flags" arguments are often seen as good API design as they allow
easy extensibility.
bioset_create_nobvec() is implemented internally as a variation in
flags passed to __bioset_create().
To support future extension, make the internal structure part of the
API.
i.e. add a 'flags' argument to bioset_create() and discard
bioset_create_nobvec().
Note that the bio_split allocations in drivers/md/raid* do not need
the bvec mempool - they should have used bioset_create_nobvec().

old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely

rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break

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.

Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set
QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT.
Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy
contributions. But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add
sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"):
- On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
should contribute to the random pool in the first place.
- Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.
There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block
devices. From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of
caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random"
sources.

This changes the bucket allocation reserves to use _real_ reserves - separate
freelists - instead of watermarks, which if nothing else makes the current code
saner to reason about and is going to be important in the future when we add
support for multiple btrees.
It also adds btree_check_reserve(), which checks (and locks) the reserves for
both bucket allocation and memory allocation for btree nodes; the old code just
kinda sorta assumed that since (e.g. for btree node splits) it had the root
locked and that meant no other threads could try to make use of the same
reserve; this technically should have been ok for memory allocation (we should
always have a reserve for memory allocation (the btree node cache is used as a
reserve and we preallocate it)), but multiple btrees will mean that locking the
root won't be sufficient anymore, and for the bucket allocation reserve it was
technically possible for the old code to deadlock.
