block, aio: batch completion for bios/kiocbs

When completing a kiocb, there's some fixed overhead from touching the
kioctx's ring buffer the kiocb belongs to.  Some newer high end block
devices can complete multiple IOs per interrupt, much like many network
interfaces have been for some time.

This plumbs through infrastructure so we can take advantage of multiple
completions at the interrupt level, and complete multiple kiocbs at the
same time.

Drivers have to be converted to take advantage of this, but it's a simple
change and the next patches will convert a few drivers.

To use it, an interrupt handler (or any code that completes bios or
requests) declares and initializes a struct batch_complete:

struct batch_complete batch;
batch_complete_init(&batch);

Then, instead of calling bio_endio(), it calls
bio_endio_batch(bio, err, &batch). This just adds the bio to a list in
the batch_complete.

At the end, it calls

batch_complete(&batch);

This completes all the bios all at once, building up a list of kiocbs;
then the list of kiocbs are completed all at once.

Also, in order to batch up the kiocbs we have to add a different bio_endio
function to struct bio, that takes a pointer to the batch_complete - this
patch converts the dio code's bio_endio function.  In order to avoid
changing every bio_endio function in the kernel (there are many), we
currently use a union and a flag to indicate what kind of bio endio
function to call.  This is admittedly a hack, but should suffice for now.

For batching to work through say md or dm devices, the md/dm bio_endio
functions would have to be converted, much like the dio code.  That is
left for future patches.
