In MD's resync I/O path, there are lots of direct access to bio's
bvec table. This patchset kills almost all, and the conversion
is quite straightforward. One root cause of direct access to bvec
table is that resync I/O uses the bio's bvec to manage pages.
In V1, as suggested by Shaohua, a new approach is used to manage
these pages for resync I/O, turns out code becomes more clean
and readable.
Once direct access to bvec table in MD is cleaned up, we may make
multipage bvec moving on.
V2:
- remove the patch for introducing/applying bio_remove_last_page()
V1:
- allocate page array to manage resync pages
