Subject: blk: Ensure users for current->bio_list can see the full list.

From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com>

commit f5fe1b51905df7cfe4fdfd85c5fb7bc5b71a094f upstream.

Commit 79bd99596b73 ("blk: improve order of bio handling in generic_make_request()")
changed current->bio_list so that it did not contain *all* of the
queued bios, but only those submitted by the currently running
make_request_fn.

There are two places which walk the list and requeue selected bios,
and others that check if the list is empty.  These are no longer
correct.

So redefine current->bio_list to point to an array of two lists, which
contain all queued bios, and adjust various code to test or walk both
lists.
