brd: use XArray instead of radix-tree to index backing pages

XArray was introduced to hold large array of pointers with a simple API.
XArray API also provides array semantics which simplifies the way we store
and access the backing pages, and the code becomes significantly easier
to understand.

No performance difference was noticed between the two implementation
using fio with direct=1 [1].

brd: mark as nowait compatible

By default, non-mq drivers do not support nowait. This causes io_uring
to use a slower path as the driver cannot be trust not to block. brd
can safely set the nowait flag, as worst case all it does is a NOIO
allocation.

For io_uring, this makes a substantial difference. Before:

submitter=0, tid=453, file=/dev/ram0, node=-1
polled=0, fixedbufs=1/0, register_files=1, buffered=0, QD=128
Engine=io_uring, sq_ring=128, cq_ring=128
IOPS=440.03K, BW=1718MiB/s, IOS/call=32/31

IOPS=426.82K, BW=1667MiB/s, IOS/call=32/31

and after:

submitter=0, tid=354, file=/dev/ram0, node=-1
polled=0, fixedbufs=1/0, register_files=1, buffered=0, QD=128
Engine=io_uring, sq_ring=128, cq_ring=128

IOPS=3.43M, BW=13.38GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31

or about an 8x in difference. Now that brd is prepared to deal with
REQ_NOWAIT reads/writes, mark it as supporting that.

brd: check for REQ_NOWAIT and set correct page allocation mask

If REQ_NOWAIT is set, then do a non-blocking allocation if the operation
is a write and we need to insert a new page. Currently REQ_NOWAIT cannot
be set as the queue isn't marked as supporting nowait, this change is in
preparation for allowing that.

radix_tree_preload() warns on attempting to call it with an allocation
mask that doesn't allow blocking. While that warning could arguably
be removed, we need to handle radix insertion failures anyway as they
are more likely if we cannot block to get memory.

Remove legacy BUG_ON()'s and turn them into proper errors instead, one
for the allocation failure and one for finding a page that doesn't
match the correct index.

block: remove ->rw_page

The ->rw_page method is a special purpose bypass of the usual bio handling
path that is limited to single-page reads and writes and synchronous which
causes a lot of extra code in the drivers, callers and the block layer.

The only remaining user is the MM swap code. Switch that swap code to
simply submit a single-vec on-stack bio an synchronously wait on it based
on a newly added QUEUE_FLAG_SYNCHRONOUS flag set by the drivers that
currently implement ->rw_page instead. While this touches one extra cache
line and executes extra code, it simplifies the block layer and drivers
and ensures that all feastures are properly supported by all drivers, e.g.
right now ->rw_page bypassed cgroup writeback entirely.

block: switch polling to be bio based

Replace the blk_poll interface that requires the caller to keep a queue
and cookie from the submissions with polling based on the bio.

Polling for the bio itself leads to a few advantages:

- the cookie construction can made entirely private in blk-mq.c
- the caller does not need to remember the request_queue and cookie
separately and thus sidesteps their lifetime issues
- keeping the device and the cookie inside the bio allows to trivially
support polling BIOs remapping by stacking drivers
- a lot of code to propagate the cookie back up the submission path can
be removed entirely.

brd: expose number of allocated pages in debugfs

While the maximum size of each ramdisk is defined either as a module
parameter, or compile time default, it's impossible to know how many pages
have currently been allocated by each ram%d device, since they're
allocated when used and never freed.

This patch creates a new directory at this location:

/sys/kernel/debug/ramdisk_pages/

which will contain a file named "ram%d" for each instantiated ramdisk on
the system. The file is read-only, and read() will output the number of
pages currently held by that ramdisk.

We lose track how much memory a ramdisk is using as pages once used are
simply recycled but never freed.

In instances where we exhaust the size of the ramdisk with a file that
exceeds it, encounter ENOSPC and delete the file for mitigation; df would
show decrease in used and increase in available blocks but the since we
have touched all pages, the memory footprint of the ramdisk does not
reflect the blocks used/available count
