md/raid1: simplify the splitting of requests.
raid1 currently splits requests in two different ways for two different reasons. First, bio_split() is used to ensure the bio fits within a resync accounting region. Second, multiple r1bios are allocated for each bio to handle the possiblity of known bad blocks on some devices. This can be simplified to just use bio_split() once, and not use multiple r1bios. We delay the split until we know a maximum bio size that can be handled with a single r1bio, and then split the bio and queue the remainder for later handling. This avoids all loops inside raid1.c request handling. Just a single read, or a single set of writes, is submitted to lower-level devices for each bio that comes from generic_make_request(). When the bio needs to be split, generic_make_request() will do the necessary looping and call md_make_request() multiple times. raid1_make_request() no longer queues request for raid1 to handle, so we can remove that branch from the 'if'. This patch also creates a new private bio_set (conf->bio_split) for splitting bios. Using fs_bio_set is wrong, as it is meant to be used by filesystems, not block devices. Using it inside md can lead to deadlocks under high memory pressure.
