Commit 5f0ed774ed29 ("block: sum requests in the plug structure") removed
the request_count parameter from block_attempt_plug_merge(), but did not
remove the associated kerneldoc comment, introducing this warning to the
docs build:

  ./block/blk-core.c:685: warning: Excess function parameter 'request_count' description in 'blk_attempt_plug_merge'

Remove the obsolete description and make things a little quieter.

There was some confusion about what these functions did.  Make it clear
that this is a hint for upper layers to pass to the block layer, and
that it does not guarantee that I/O will not be submitted between a
start and finish plug.

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for block/storage for 4.21.

  Larger than usual, it was a busy round with lots of goodies queued up.
  Most notable is the removal of the old IO stack, which has been a long
  time coming. No new features for a while, everything coming in this
  week has all been fixes for things that were previously merged.

  This contains:

   - Use atomic counters instead of semaphores for mtip32xx (Arnd)

   - Cleanup of the mtip32xx request setup (Christoph)

   - Fix for circular locking dependency in loop (Jan, Tetsuo)

   - bcache (Coly, Guoju, Shenghui)
      * Optimizations for writeback caching
      * Various fixes and improvements

   - nvme (Chaitanya, Christoph, Sagi, Jay, me, Keith)
      * host and target support for NVMe over TCP
      * Error log page support
      * Support for separate read/write/poll queues
      * Much improved polling
      * discard OOM fallback
      * Tracepoint improvements

   - lightnvm (Hans, Hua, Igor, Matias, Javier)
      * Igor added packed metadata to pblk. Now drives without metadata
        per LBA can be used as well.
      * Fix from Geert on uninitialized value on chunk metadata reads.
      * Fixes from Hans and Javier to pblk recovery and write path.
      * Fix from Hua Su to fix a race condition in the pblk recovery
        code.
      * Scan optimization added to pblk recovery from Zhoujie.
      * Small geometry cleanup from me.

   - Conversion of the last few drivers that used the legacy path to
     blk-mq (me)

   - Removal of legacy IO path in SCSI (me, Christoph)

   - Removal of legacy IO stack and schedulers (me)

   - Support for much better polling, now without interrupts at all.
     blk-mq adds support for multiple queue maps, which enables us to
     have a map per type. This in turn enables nvme to have separate
     completion queues for polling, which can then be interrupt-less.
     Also means we're ready for async polled IO, which is hopefully
     coming in the next release.

   - Killing of (now) unused block exports (Christoph)

   - Unification of the blk-rq-qos and blk-wbt wait handling (Josef)

   - Support for zoned testing with null_blk (Masato)

   - sx8 conversion to per-host tag sets (Christoph)

   - IO priority improvements (Damien)

   - mq-deadline zoned fix (Damien)

   - Ref count blkcg series (Dennis)

   - Lots of blk-mq improvements and speedups (me)

   - sbitmap scalability improvements (me)

   - Make core inflight IO accounting per-cpu (Mikulas)

   - Export timeout setting in sysfs (Weiping)

   - Cleanup the direct issue path (Jianchao)

   - Export blk-wbt internals in block debugfs for easier debugging
     (Ming)

   - Lots of other fixes and improvements"

Besides the OSD command set that never got traction, the only SCSI
command using bidirectional buffers is XDWRITEREAD in the 10 and 32 byte
variants, which is extremely esoteric and has been removed from the spec
again as of SBC4r15.  It probably doesn't make sense to keep the support
code around just for that, so start deprecating the support.

An earlier commit 7fcf2b033b84 ("blkcg: change blkg reference counting
to use percpu_ref") moved around the release call from blkg_put() to be
a part of the percpu_ref cleanup. Remove the additional unused code
which should have been removed earlier.

The implementation of blkg_tryget_closest() wasn't super obvious and
became a point of suspicion when debugging [1]. So let's clean it up so
it's obviously not the problem.

Also add missing RCU read locking to bio_clone_blkg_association(), which
got exposed by adding the RCU read lock held check in
blkg_tryget_closest().

The Kconfig lexer supports special characters such as '.' and '/' in
the parameter context. In my understanding, the reason is just to
support bare file paths in the source statement.

I do not see a good reason to complicate Kconfig for the room of
ambiguity.

The majority of code already surrounds file paths with double quotes,
and it makes sense since file paths are constant string literals.

Make it treewide consistent now.
