Previously, the block layer stored the requests in the plug list in
LIFO order. For this reason, blk_attempt_plug_merge() would check
just the head entry for a back merge attempt, and abort after that
unless requests for multiple queues existed in the plug list. If more
than one request is present in the plug list, this makes the one-shot
back merging less useful than before, as it'll always fail to find a
quick merge candidate.

Use the tail entry for the one-shot merge attempt, which is the last
added request in the list. If that fails, abort immediately unless
there are multiple queues available. If multiple queues are available,
then scan the list. Ideally the latter scan would be a backwards scan
of the list, but as it currently stands, the plug list is singly linked
and hence this isn't easily feasible.

Bios queued up in the zone write plug have already gone through all all
preparation in the submit_bio path, including the freeze protection.

Submitting them through submit_bio_noacct_nocheck duplicates the work
and can can cause deadlocks when freezing a queue with pending bio
write plugs.

Go straight to ->submit_bio or blk_mq_submit_bio to bypass the
superfluous extra freeze protection and checks.

When blk_zone_write_plug_bio_endio() is called for a regular write BIO
used to emulate a zone append operation, that is, a BIO flagged with
BIO_EMULATES_ZONE_APPEND, the BIO operation code is restored to the
original REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND but the BIO_EMULATES_ZONE_APPEND flag is not
cleared. Clear it to fully return the BIO to its orginal definition.

blk_rq_integrity_map_user() creates the ubuf iter with ITER_DEST for
write-direction operations and ITER_SOURCE for read-direction ones.
This is backwards; writes use the user buffer as a source for metadata
and reads use it as a destination. Switch to the rq_data_dir() helper,
which maps writes to ITER_SOURCE (WRITE) and reads to ITER_DEST(READ).

direction is determined from bio, which is already passed in. Compute
op_is_write(bio_op(bio)) directly instead of converting it to an iter
direction and back to a bool.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - cgroup rstat shared the tracking tree across all controllers with the
   rationale being that a cgroup which is using one resource is likely
   to be using other resources at the same time (ie. if something is
   allocating memory, it's probably consuming CPU cycles).

   However, this turned out to not scale very well especially with memcg
   using rstat for internal operations which made memcg stat read and
   flush patterns substantially different from other controllers. JP
   Kobryn split the rstat tree per controller.

 - cgroup BPF support was hooking into cgroup init/exit paths directly.

   Convert them to use a notifier chain instead so that other usages can
   be added easily. The two of the patches which implement this are
   mislabeled as belonging to sched_ext instead of cgroup. Sorry.

 - Relatively minor cpuset updates

 - Documentation updates
