bio has to be enqueued before submission, and once it is enqueued, it has
to be ended by blk_poll(), this way actually simplifies polled bio lifetime
a lot, no matter if this bio is really completed via poll or irq.

When submit_bio() is returning BLK_QC_T_NONE, this bio may have been
completed already, and we shouldn't touch that bio any more, otherwise
things can become quite complicated.

free_io_context() is called after the ioc's refcount drops to zero, so
any process sharing this ioc has to be exited.

Yeah, so we can poll old bios first. Also the following bio polling can
cover new bios just from submission context too.

Good catch, usually submit_task shouldn't be NULL, but it can be exited
already.
