This reverts commit db1c7d77976775483a8ef240b4c705f113e13ea1.

We're reinstating the pktcdvd driver, which needs this API.

With the pktcdvdv removal, bio_copy_data_iter is unused now.  Fold the
logic into bio_copy_data and remove the separate lower level function.

<title>bio: shrink max number of pcpu cached bios</title>

The downside of the bio pcpu cache is that bios of a cpu will be never
freed unless there is new I/O issued from that cpu. We currently keep
max 512 bios, which feels too much, half it.

<title>bio: add pcpu caching for non-polling bio_put</title>

This patch extends REQ_ALLOC_CACHE to IRQ completions, whenever
currently it's only limited to iopoll. Instead of guarding the list with
irq toggling on alloc, which is expensive, it keeps an additional
irq-safe list from which bios are spliced in batches to ammortise
overhead. On the put side it toggles irqs, but in many cases they're
already disabled and so cheap.

Biosets keep a mempool, so as long as requests complete we can always
can allocate and have forward progress. Percpu bio caches break that
assumptions as we may complete into the cache of one CPU and after try
and fail to allocate with another CPU. We also can't grab from another
CPU's cache without tricky sync.

If we're allocating with a bio while the mempool is undersaturated,
remove REQ_ALLOC_CACHE flag, so on put it will go straight to mempool.
It might try to free into mempool more requests than required, but
assuming than there is no memory starvation in the system it'll
stabilise and never hit that path.

<title>block: set FOLL_PCI_P2PDMA in __bio_iov_iter_get_pages()</title>

When a bio's queue supports PCI P2PDMA, set FOLL_PCI_P2PDMA for
iov_iter_get_pages_flags(). This allows PCI P2PDMA pages to be passed
from userspace and enables the O_DIRECT path in iomap based filesystems
and direct to block devices.

Consecutive zone device pages should not be merged into the same sgl
or bvec segment with other types of pages or if they belong to different
pgmaps. Otherwise getting the pgmap of a given segment is not possible
without scanning the entire segment. This helper returns true either if
both pages are not zone device pages or both pages are zone device
pages with the same pgmap.

Add a helper to determine if zone device pages are mergeable and use
this helper in page_is_mergeable().

bio_put() with REQ_ALLOC_CACHE assumes that it's executed not from
an irq context. Let's add a warning if the invariant is not respected,
especially since there is a couple of places removing REQ_POLLED by hand
without also clearing REQ_ALLOC_CACHE.
