Currently inherited from sg.c bsg will submit asynchronous request
at the head-of-the-queue, (using "at_head" set in the call to
blk_execute_rq_nowait()). This is bad in situation where the queues
are full, requests will execute out of order, and can cause
starvation of the first submitted requests.
The sg_io_v4->flags member is used and a bit is allocated to denote the
Q_AT_TAIL. Zero is to queue at_head as before, to be compatible with old
code at the write/read path. SG_IO code path behavior was changed so to
be the same as write/read behavior. SG_IO was very rarely used and breaking
compatibility with it is OK at this stage.
sg_io_hdr at sg.h also has a flags member and uses 3 bits from the first
nibble and one bit from the last nibble. Even though none of these bits
are supported by bsg, The second nibble is allocated for use by bsg. Just
in case.

Since bsg.h has recently been added to the list of kernel
headers that should be exported to the user space, this
attachment makes bsg.h more user space "friendly".
Specifically autotools dislike headers that don't compile
freestanding and bsg.h's use of __u32 types (and friends)
are not standard C (C90 or C99). The inclusion of
linux/types.h fixes that.

This patch adds release callback support, which is called when a bsg
device goes away. bsg_register_queue() takes a pointer to a callback
function. This feature is useful for stuff like sas_host that can't
use the release callback in struct device.
If a caller doesn't need bsg's release callback, it can call
bsg_register_queue() with NULL pointer (e.g. scsi devices can use
release callback in struct device so they don't need bsg's callback).
With this patch, bsg uses kref for refcounts on bsg devices instead of
get/put_device in fops->open/release. bsg calls put_device and the
caller's release callback (if it was registered) in kref_put's
release.

This updates sg_io_v4 structure (based on Doug's RFC, release 1.3).
The major changes are:
- add dout_resid field
- increase tag size to 64 bits to comply with SAM-4 and SRP
- add dout_iovec_count and din_iovec_count
dout_iovec_count and din_iovec_count aren't supported now. I'm not
sure whether they will be supported or not but they were added for the
possible future changes.

Just using #defines for the
bsg_register_queue()/bsg_unregister_queue() can cause undefined
variables when they're defined to nothing. Use dummy inline functions
instead.

Currently, bsg doesn't make class backlinks (a process whereby you'd get
a link to bsg in the device directory in the same way you get one for
sg). This is because the bsg device is uninitialised, so the class
device has nothing it can attach to. The fix is to make the bsg device
point to the cdevice of the entity creating the bsg, necessitating
changing the bsg_register_queue() prototype into a form that takes the
generic device.

Don't define an empty struct bsg_class_device if !CONFIG_BLK_DEV_BSG.
It's embedded in struct request_queue, but there we have
#if defined(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_BSG)
struct bsg_class_device bsg_dev;
#endif
anyway.

This patch adds sg_io_v4 structure that Doug proposed last month.
There's one major change from the RFC. I dropped iovec, which needs
compat stuff. The bsg code simply calls blk_rq_map_user against
dout_xferp/din_xferp. So if possible, the page frames are directly
mapped. If not possible, the block layer allocates new page frames and
does memory copies.
