[212/272] fs/direct-io.c: dont try to allocate more than BIO_MAX_PAGES in a bio

From: David Dillow <dillowda@ornl.gov>

commit 20d9600cb407b0b55fef6ee814b60345c6f58264 upstream.

When using devices that support max_segments > BIO_MAX_PAGES (256), direct
IO tries to allocate a bio with more pages than allowed, which leads to an
oops in dio_bio_alloc(). Clamp the request to the supported maximum, and
change dio_bio_alloc() to reflect that bio_alloc() will always return a
bio when called with __GFP_WAIT and a valid number of vectors.
