lightnvm: pblk: simplify partial read path
This patch changes the approach to handling partial read path. In old approach merging of data from round buffer and drive was fully made by drive. This had some disadvantages - code was complex and relies on bio internals, so it was hard to maintain and was strongly dependent on bio changes. In new approach most of the handling is done mostly by block layer functions such as bio_split(), bio_chain() and generic_make request() and generally is less complex and easier to maintain. Below some more details of the new approach. When read bio arrives, it is cloned for pblk internal purposes. All the L2P mapping, which includes copying data from round buffer to bio and thus bio_advance() calls is done on the cloned bio, so the original bio is untouched. If we found that we have partial read case, we still have original bio untouched, so we can split it and continue to process only first part of it in current context, when the rest will be called as separate bio request which is passed to generic_make_request() for further processing.
