Pull iomap updates from Matthew Wilcox:
 "Convert xfs/iomap to use folios.

  This should be all that is needed for XFS to use large folios. There
  is no code in this pull request to create large folios, but no
  additional changes should be needed to XFS or iomap once they are
  created.

  Usually this would have come from Darrick, and we had intended that it
  would come that route. Between the holidays and various things which
  Darrick needed to work on, he asked if I could send things directly.

  There weren't any other iomap patches pending for this release, which
  probably also played a role"

This is a thin wrapper around bio_add_page().  The main advantage here
is the documentation that folios larger than 2GiB are not supported.
It's not currently possible to allocate folios that large, but if it
ever becomes possible, this function will fail gracefully instead of
doing I/O to the wrong bytes.

Nobody cares about iov iterators state if we return -EIOCBQUEUED, so as
the we now have __blkdev_direct_IO_async(), which gets pages only once,
we can skip expensive iov_iter_advance(). It's around 1-2% of all CPU
spent.

Replace the blk_poll interface that requires the caller to keep a queue
and cookie from the submissions with polling based on the bio.

Polling for the bio itself leads to a few advantages:

 - the cookie construction can made entirely private in blk-mq.c
 - the caller does not need to remember the request_queue and cookie
   separately and thus sidesteps their lifetime issues
 - keeping the device and the cookie inside the bio allows to trivially
   support polling BIOs remapping by stacking drivers
 - a lot of code to propagate the cookie back up the submission path can
   be removed entirely.
