This generates a lot better code for me, and bumps performance from
7650K IOPS to 7750K IOPS. Looking at profiles for the run and running
perf diff, it confirms that we're now sending a lot less time there:
6.38% -2.80% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] blkdev_direct_IO
Taking it from the 2nd most cycle consumer to only the 9th most at
3.35% of the CPU time.

bdev = &BDEV_I(file->f_mapping->host)->bdev
Getting struct block_device from a file requires 2 memory dereferences
as illustrated above, that takes a toll on performance, so cache it in
yet unused file->private_data. That gives a noticeable peak performance
improvement.

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.

Switch the boolean spin argument to blk_poll to passing a set of flags
instead. This will allow to control polling behavior in a more fine
grained way.

If an iocb is split into multiple bios we can't poll for both. So don't
even bother to try to poll in that case.

When running ->fallocate(), blkdev_fallocate() should hold
mapping->invalidate_lock to prevent page cache from being accessed,
otherwise stale data may be read in page cache.
Without this patch, blktests block/009 fails sometimes. With this patch,
block/009 can pass always.
Also as Jan pointed out, no pages can be created in the discarded area
while you are holding the invalidate_lock, so remove the 2nd
truncate_bdev_range().
