dm: add two stage requeue mechanism
Commit 61b6e2e5321d ("dm: fix BLK_STS_DM_REQUEUE handling when dm_io
represents split bio") reverted DM core's bio splitting back to using
bio_split()+bio_chain() because it was found that otherwise DM's
BLK_STS_DM_REQUEUE would trigger a live-lock waiting for bio
completion that would never occur.
Restore using bio_trim()+bio_inc_remaining(), like was done in commit
7dd76d1feec7 ("dm: improve bio splitting and associated IO
accounting"), but this time with proper handling for the above
scenario that is covered in more detail in the commit header for
61b6e2e5321d.
Solve this issue by adding a two staged dm_io requeue mechanism that
uses the new dm_bio_rewind() via dm_io_rewind():
1) requeue the dm_io into the requeue_list added to struct
mapped_device, and schedule it via new added requeue work. This
workqueue just clones the dm_io->orig_bio (which DM saves and
ensures its end sector isn't modified). dm_io_rewind() uses the
sectors and sectors_offset members of the dm_io that are recorded
relative to the end of orig_bio: dm_bio_rewind()+bio_trim() are
then used to make that cloned bio reflect the subset of the
original bio that is represented by the dm_io that is being
requeued.
2) the 2nd stage requeue is same with original requeue, but
io->orig_bio points to new cloned bio (which matches the requeued
dm_io as described above).
This allows DM core to shift the need for bio cloning from bio-split
time (during IO submission) to the less likely BLK_STS_DM_REQUEUE
handling (after IO completes with that error).

dm: add dm_bio_rewind() API to DM core
Commit 7759eb23fd98 ("block: remove bio_rewind_iter()") removed
a similar API for the following reasons:
```
It is pointed that bio_rewind_iter() is one very bad API[1]:
1) bio size may not be restored after rewinding
2) it causes some bogus change, such as 5151842b9d8732 (block: reset
bi_iter.bi_done after splitting bio)
3) rewinding really makes things complicated wrt. bio splitting
4) unnecessary updating of .bi_done in fast path
[1] https://marc.info/?t=153549924200005&r=1&w=2
So this patch takes Kent's suggestion to restore one bio into its original
state via saving bio iterator(struct bvec_iter) in bio_integrity_prep(),
given now bio_rewind_iter() is only used by bio integrity code.
```
However, saving off a copy of the 32 bytes bio->bi_iter in case rewind
needed isn't efficient because it bloats per-bio-data for what is an
unlikely case. That suggestion also ignores the need to restore
crypto and integrity info.
Add dm_bio_rewind() API for a specific use-case that is much more narrow
than the previous more generic rewind code that was reverted:
1) most bios have a fixed end sector since bio split is done from front
of the bio, if driver just records how many sectors between current
bio's start sector and the original bio's end sector, the original
position can be restored. Keeping the original bio's end sector
fixed is a _hard_ requirement for this interface!
2) if a bio's end sector won't change (usually bio_trim() isn't
called, or in the case of DM it preserves original bio), user can
restore the original position by storing sector offset from the
current ->bi_iter.bi_sector to bio's end sector; together with
saving bio size, only 8 bytes is needed to restore to original
bio.
3) DM's requeue use case: when BLK_STS_DM_REQUEUE happens, DM core
needs to restore to an "original bio" which represents the current
dm_io to be requeued (which may be a subset of the original bio).
By storing the sector offset from the original bio's end sector and
dm_io's size, dm_bio_rewind() can restore such original bio. See
commit 7dd76d1feec7 ("dm: improve bio splitting and associated IO
accounting") for more details on how DM does this. Leveraging this,
allows DM core to shift the need for bio cloning from bio-split
time (during IO submission) to the less likely BLK_STS_DM_REQUEUE
handling (after IO completes with that error).
4) Unlike the original rewind API, dm_bio_rewind() doesn't add .bi_done
to bvec_iter and there is no effect on the fast path.
Implement dm_bio_rewind() by factoring out clear helpers that it calls:
dm_bio_integrity_rewind, dm_bio_crypt_rewind and dm_bio_rewind_iter.
DM is able to ensure that dm_bio_rewind() is used safely but, given
the constraint that the bio's end must never change, other
hypothetical future callers may not take the same care. So make
dm_bio_rewind() and all supporting code local to DM to avoid risk of
hypothetical abuse. A "dm_" prefix was added to all functions to avoid
any namespace collisions.
