[PATCH RFC v4 1/3] block: add BIO_COMPLETE_IN_TASK for task-context completion

[Tal Zussman]

Some bio completion handlers need to run in task context but bio_endio()
can be called from IRQ context (e.g. buffer_head writeback). Add a
BIO_COMPLETE_IN_TASK flag that bio submitters can set to request
task-context completion of their bi_end_io callback.

When bio_endio() sees this flag and is running in non-task context, it
queues the bio to a per-cpu list and schedules a work item to call
bi_end_io() from task context. A CPU hotplug dead callback drains any
remaining bios from the departing CPU's batch.

This will be used to enable RWF_DONTCACHE for block devices, and could
be used for other subsystems like fscrypt that need task-context bio
completion.
