These two callers were the only external users of __bio_try_merge_page(),
so it can now be made static to block/bio.c.

Subject: [PATCH] block: Make __bio_try_merge_page static

iomap was the only external user of __bio_try_merge_page().  Make it
static (and move it above a caller so it doesn't need to be declared
in advance).
