[PATCH RFC 06/16] block: Limit atomic writes according to bio and queue limits

[John Garry]

We rely the block layer always being able to send a bio of size
atomic_write_unit_max without being required to split it due to request
queue or other bio limits. We already know at any bio should have an
alignment of atomic_write_unit_max or lower.

A bio may contain min(BIO_MAX_VECS, limits->max_segments) vectors,
and each vector of at least PAGE_SIZE, except for if start address may
not be PAGE aligned; for this case, subtract 1 to give the max guaranteed
count of pages which we may store in a bio, and limit both
atomic_write_unit_min and atomic_write_unit_max to this value.
