The descriptions of bio_add_page() and bio_add_pc_page() are slightly
inconsistent; improve them.

printk()s without a priority level default to KERN_WARNING.  To reduce
noise at KERN_WARNING, this patch set the priority level appriopriately
for unleveled printks()s.  This should be useful to folks that look at
dmesg warnings closely.

MD and DM create a new bio_set for every metadevice. Each bio_set has an
integrity mempool attached regardless of whether the metadevice is
capable of passing integrity metadata. This is a waste of memory.

Instead we defer the allocation decision to MD and DM since we know at
metadevice creation time whether integrity passthrough is needed or not.

Automatic integrity mempool allocation can then be removed from
bioset_create() and we make an explicit integrity allocation for the
fs_bio_set.

The block integrity subsystem no longer uses the bio_vec slabs so this
code can safely be compiled in.

If the iovec is being set up in a way that causes uaddr + PAGE_SIZE
to overflow, we could end up attempting to map a huge number of
pages. Check for this invalid input type.

<title>block: unify flags for struct bio and struct request</title>

Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver.  There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests:  BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD.  Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.

Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.
