[PATCH 1/2] blk-mq: add a blk_mq_submit_bio_direct API

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>]

This adds (back) and API for simple stacking drivers to submit a bio to
blk-mq queue.  The prime aim is to avoid blocking on the queue freeze
percpu ref, as a multipath driver really does not want to get blocked
on that when an underlying device is undergoing error recovery.  It also
happens to optimize away the small overhead of the curren->bio_list based
recursion avoidance.
