Christoph Hellwig 3e08773c38 block: switch polling to be bio based
Replace the blk_poll interface that requires the caller to keep a queue
and cookie from the submissions with polling based on the bio.

Polling for the bio itself leads to a few advantages:

 - the cookie construction can made entirely private in blk-mq.c
 - the caller does not need to remember the request_queue and cookie
   separately and thus sidesteps their lifetime issues
 - keeping the device and the cookie inside the bio allows to trivially
   support polling BIOs remapping by stacking drivers
 - a lot of code to propagate the cookie back up the submission path can
   be removed entirely.
