[PATCH 07/22] block: add task-context bio completion infrastructure

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>]

From: Tal Zussman <tz2294@columbia.edu>

Some bio completion handlers need to run from preemptible task context,
but bio_endio() may be called from IRQ context (e.g., buffer_head
writeback). Callers need a way to ensure their callback eventually runs
from a sleepable context. Add infrastructure for that, in two forms:

  1. BIO_COMPLETE_IN_TASK, a bio flag the submitter sets when it knows
     in advance that its callback needs task context (e.g., dropbehind
     writeback). bio_endio() sees the flag and offloads completion to a
     worker automatically.

  2. bio_complete_in_task(), a helper that completion callbacks can
     invoke from within bi_end_io() when the deferral decision is
     dynamic (e.g., fserror reporting).

Both share a per-CPU batch list drained by a delayed work item on a
WQ_PERCPU workqueue. Producers push the bio onto the local CPU's batch
and schedule the work item, which then dispatches each bio's bi_end_io()
from task context. The delayed work item uses a 1-jiffie delay to allow
batches of completions to accumulate before processing.

Both methods are gated on bio_in_atomic(), which returns true in any
context where a sleeping bi_end_io() is unsafe, including
non-preemptible task context. This logic is copied from commit
c99fab6e80b7 ("erofs: fix atomic context detection when
!CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC").

Two CPU hotplug callbacks are used to drain remaining bios from the
departing CPU's batch, while maintaining the per-CPU behavior. The
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN callback disables the per-CPU delayed work while the
CPU is still online, preventing it from running on an unbound worker
later. CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN then drains any bios added between disabling
the work item and CPU offline.
