mainlining shenanigans

For scrub_pages() and scrub_pages_for_parity(), we currently allocate one scrub_page structure for one page. This is fine if we only read/write one sector one time. But for cases like scrubbing RAID56, we need to read/write the full stripe, which is in 64K size for now. For subpage size, we will submit the read in just one page, which is normally a good thing, but for RAID56 case, it only expects to see one sector, not the full stripe in its endio function. This could lead to wrong parity checksum for RAID56 on subpage. To make the existing code work well for subpage case, here we take a shortcut by always allocating a full page for one sector. This should provide the base to make RAID56 work for subpage case. The cost is pretty obvious now, for one RAID56 stripe now we always need 16 pages. For support subpage situation (64K page size, 4K sector size), this means we need full one megabyte to scrub just one RAID56 stripe. And for data scrub, each 4K sector will also need one 64K page. This is mostly just a workaround, the proper fix for this is a much larger project, using scrub_block to replace scrub_page, and allow scrub_block to handle multi pages, csums, and csum_bitmap to avoid allocating one page for each sector.

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.
