[BACKGROUND] Currently for scrub, we allocate one page for one sector, this is fine for PAGE_SIZE == sectorsize support, but can waste extra memory for subpage support. [CODE CHANGE] Make scrub_block contain all the pages, so if we're scrubbing an extent sized 64K, and our page size is also 64K, we only need to allocate one page. [LIFESPAN CHANGE] Since now scrub_sector no longer holds a page, but is using scrub_block::pages[] instead, we have to ensure scrub_block has a longer lifespan for write bio. The lifespan for read bio is already large enough. Now scrub_block will only be released after the write bio finished. [COMING NEXT] Currently we only added scrub_block::pages[] for this purpose, but scrub_sector is still utilizing the old scrub_sector::page. The switch will happen in the next patch.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
