we still won't check for zero-length entries after an unaligned

block: check for proper length of iov entries earlier in blk_rq_map_user_iov()

commit 9284bcf checks for proper length of iov entries in
blk_rq_map_user_iov(). But if the map is unaligned, kernel
will break out the loop without checking for the proper length.
So we need to check the proper length before the unalign check.

Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.

Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

block: hide request sector and data_len

Block low level drivers for some reason have been pretty good at
abusing block layer API. Especially struct request's fields tend to
get violated in all possible ways. Make it clear that low level
drivers MUST NOT access or manipulate rq->sector and rq->data_len
directly by prefixing them with double underscores.

This change is also necessary to break build of out-of-tree codes
which assume the previous block API where internal fields can be
manipulated and rq->data_len carries residual count on completion.

blk_rq_map_user to accept a NULL user-space buffer with a READ
