mainlining shenanigans

So far bio is marked as REQ_POLLED if RWF_HIPRI/IOCB_HIPRI is passed from userspace sync io interface, then block layer tries to poll until the bio is completed. But the current implementation calls blk_io_schedule() if bio_poll() returns 0, and this way causes io hang or timeout easily. But looks no one reports this kind of issue, which should have been triggered in normal io poll sanity test or blktests block/007 as observed by Changhui, that means it is very likely that no one uses it or no one cares it. Also after io_uring is invented, io poll for sync dio becomes legacy interface. So ignore RWF_HIPRI hint for sync dio.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
