<title>block: fix page leak when merging to same page</title>

When multiple iovecs reference the same page, each get_user_page call
will add a reference to the page.  But once we've created the bio that
information gets lost and only a single reference will be dropped after
I/O completion.  Use the same_page information returned from
__bio_try_merge_page to drop additional references to pages that were
already present in the bio.

Based on a patch from Ming Lei.

<title>block: return from __bio_try_merge_page if merging occured in the same page</title>

We currently have an input same_page parameter to __bio_try_merge_page
to prohibit merging in the same page.  The rationale for that is that
some callers need to account for every page added to a bio.  Instead of
letting these callers call twice into the merge code to account for the
new vs existing page cases, just turn the paramter into an output one that
returns if a merge in the same page occured and let them act accordingly.

The same page optimization is a rather odd corner case, which is not
used outside bio.c and which really should not be used outside of bio.c
either - we have better highlevel helpers like the rq/bio mapping
helpers.

We only have two callers that need the integer loop iterator, and they
can easily maintain it themselves.

<title>block: clarify that bio_add_page() and related helpers can add multi pages</title>

bio_add_page() and __bio_add_page() are capable of adding pages into
bio, and now we have at least two such usages alreay:

	- __bio_iov_bvec_add_pages()
	- nvmet_bdev_execute_rw().

So update comments on these two helpers.

The thing is a bit special for __bio_try_merge_page(), given the caller
needs to know if the new added page is same with the last added page,
then it isn't safe to pass multi-page in case that 'same_page' is true,
so adds warning on potential misuse, and updates comment on
__bio_try_merge_page().

comment, and is trivial. The other one is a conflict due to a later fix
in the bio multi-page work, and needs a bit more care.
