block, fs: Restore the per-bio/request data lifetime fields
Restore support for passing data lifetime information from filesystems to
block drivers. This patch reverts commit b179c98f7697 ("block: Remove
request.write_hint") and commit c75e707fe1aa ("block: remove the
per-bio/request write hint").
This patch does not modify the size of struct bio because the new
bi_write_hint member fills a hole in struct bio. pahole reports the
following for struct bio on an x86_64 system with this patch applied:
/* size: 112, cachelines: 2, members: 20 */
/* sum members: 110, holes: 1, sum holes: 2 */
/* last cacheline: 48 bytes */
