block: cleanup tracing

A couple tweaks to the tracing code:

- trace the request size for all requests
- trace request sector and nr_sectors only for fs requests, enforced by
helpers
- drop SCSI CDB tracing - we have SCSI tracing for this and are going
to me the CDB out of the generic struct request soon.

With this the tracing code stops to know about BLOCK_PC requests entirely,
it's just FS vs passthrough requests now, where the latter includes any
driver-private requests.

Merge branch 'for-4.10/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main block pull request this series. Contrary to previous
release, I've kept the core and driver changes in the same branch. We
always ended up having dependencies between the two for obvious
reasons, so makes more sense to keep them together. That said, I'll
probably try and keep more topical branches going forward, especially
for cycles that end up being as busy as this one.

The major parts of this pull request is:

- Improved support for O_DIRECT on block devices, with a small
private implementation instead of using the pig that is
fs/direct-io.c. From Christoph.

- Request completion tracking in a scalable fashion. This is utilized
by two components in this pull, the new hybrid polling and the
writeback queue throttling code.

- Improved support for polling with O_DIRECT, adding a hybrid mode
that combines pure polling with an initial sleep. From me.

- Support for automatic throttling of writeback queues on the block
side. This uses feedback from the device completion latencies to
scale the queue on the block side up or down. From me.

- Support from SMR drives in the block layer and for SD. From Hannes
and Shaun.

- Multi-connection support for nbd. From Josef.

- Cleanup of request and bio flags, so we have a clear split between
which are bio (or rq) private, and which ones are shared. From
Christoph.

- A set of patches from Bart, that improve how we handle queue
stopping and starting in blk-mq.

- Support for WRITE_ZEROES from Chaitanya.

- Lightnvm updates from Javier/Matias.

- Supoort for FC for the nvme-over-fabrics code. From James Smart.

- A bunch of fixes from a whole slew of people, too many to name
here"

block: better op and flags encoding

Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range
of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and
request fields. This in addition allows us to place the operation
first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to
stop having to shift around the operation values.

In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer
instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do
that later) and thus clean up a lot of code.

Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags
field in struct request to 32-bits. Various functions passing this
value could also be updated, but I'd like to avoid the churn for now.

Two fixes, and then a cleanup, renaming bio->bi_rw to bio->bi_opf. I
wanted to do that change right after or right before -rc1, so that
risk of conflict was reduced. I just rebased the series on top of
