Replace the gendisk pointer in struct bio with a pointer to the newly
improved struct block device. From that the gendisk can be trivially
accessed with an extra indirection, but it also allows to directly
look up all information related to partition remapping.

Also, save/restore __bi_remaining in case the bio was used in a
BIO_CHAIN (e.g. due to blk_queue_split).

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.

We need to convert the dm code to the new bvec_iter primitives which
respect bi_bvec_done; they also allow us to drastically simplify dm's
bio splitting code.
Also, it's no longer necessary to save/restore the bvec array anymore -
driver conversions for immutable bvecs are done, so drivers should never
be modifying it.
Also kill bio_sector_offset(), dm was the only user and it doesn't make
much sense anymore.

This patch doesn't itself have any functional changes, but immutable
biovecs are going to add a bi_bvec_done member to bi_iter, which will
need to be saved too here.

Device mapper saves and restores various fields in the bio, but it doesn't save
bi_io_vec. If the device driver modifies this after a partially successful
request, dm-raid1 and dm-multipath may attempt to resubmit a bio that has
bi_size inconsistent with the size of vector.
To make requests resubmittable in dm-raid1 and dm-multipath, we must save
and restore the bio vector as well.
To reduce the memory overhead involved in this, we do not save the pages in a
vector and use a 16-bit field size if the page size is less than 65536.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
