block: add notion of a chunk size for request merging

Some drivers have different limits on what size a request should
optimally be, depending on the offset of the request. Similar to
dividing a device into chunks. Add a setting that allows the driver
to inform the block layer of such a chunk size. The block layer will
then prevent merging across the chunks.

This is needed to optimally support NVMe with a non-zero stripe size.

block: move bio.c and bio-integrity.c from fs/ to block/

They really belong in block/, especially now since it's not in
drivers/block/ anymore. Additionally, the get_maintainer script
gets it wrong when in fs/.
