Rewrite bio_map_kern using the new bio_add_* helpers and drop the
kerneldoc comment that is superfluous for an internal helper.

Lift bio_split_rw_at into blk_rq_append_bio so that it validates the
hardware limits.  With this all passthrough callers can simply add
bio_add_page to build the bio and delay checking for exceeding of limits
to this point instead of doing it for each page.

While this looks like adding a new expensive loop over all bio_vecs,
blk_rq_append_bio is already doing that just to counter the number of
segments.

blk_rq_map_user_bvec currently only has ad-hoc checks for queue limits,
and the last fix to it enabled valid NVMe I/O to pass, but also allowed
invalid one for drivers that set a max_segment_size or seg_boundary
limit.

Fix it once for all by using the bio_split_rw_at helper from the I/O
path that indicates if and where a bio would be have to be split to
adhere to the queue limits, and it returns a positive value, turn that
into -EREMOTEIO to retry using the copy path.

blk_rq_map_user_bvec contains a check bytes + bv-&gt;bv_len &gt; nr_iter which
causes unnecessary failures in NVMe passthrough I/O, reproducible as
follows:

- register a 2 page, page-aligned buffer against a ring
- use that buffer to do a 1 page io_uring NVMe passthrough read

The second (i = 1) iteration of the loop in blk_rq_map_user_bvec will
then have nr_iter == 1 page, bytes == 1 page, bv-&gt;bv_len == 1 page, so
the check bytes + bv-&gt;bv_len &gt; nr_iter will succeed, causing the I/O to
fail. This failure is unnecessary, as when the check succeeds, it means
we've checked the entire buffer that will be used by the request - i.e.
blk_rq_map_user_bvec should complete successfully. Therefore, terminate
the loop early and return successfully when the check bytes + bv-&gt;bv_len
&gt; nr_iter succeeds.

While we're at it, also remove the check that all segments in the bvec
are single-page. While this seems to be true for all users of the
function, it doesn't appear to be required anywhere downstream.
