drbd: store in-core bitmap little endian, regardless of architecture
Our on-disk bitmap is a little endian bitstream.
Up to now, we have stored the in-core copy of that in
native endian, applying byte order conversion when necessary.
Instead, keep the bitmap pages little endian, as they are read from disk,
and use the generic_*_le_bit family of functions.

We trusted the on-disk bitmap to have unused bits cleared.
In case that is not true for whatever reason,
and we take a code path where the unused bits don't get cleared
elsewhere (bm_clear_surplus is not called), we may miscount the bits,
and get confused during resync, waiting for bits to get cleared that we
don't even use: the resync process would not terminate.
Fix this by masking out unused bits in __bm_count_bits.

block: initial patch for on-stack per-task plugging
This patch adds support for creating a queuing context outside
of the queue itself. This enables us to batch up pieces of IO
before grabbing the block device queue lock and submitting them to
the IO scheduler.
The context is created on the stack of the process and assigned in
the task structure, so that we can auto-unplug it if we hit a schedule
event.
The current queue plugging happens implicitly if IO is submitted to
an empty device, yet callers have to remember to unplug that IO when
they are going to wait for it. This is an ugly API and has caused bugs
in the past. Additionally, it requires hacks in the vm (->sync_page()
callback) to handle that logic. By switching to an explicit plugging
scheme we make the API a lot nicer and can get rid of the ->sync_page()
hack in the vm.
It was always abuse to reuse the plugging infrastructure for this,
convert it to the (new) real API for delaying queueing a bit. A
default delay of 3 msec is defined, to match the previous
behaviour.
