A _lot_ of -&gt;write() instances were open-coding it; some are
converted to memdup_user_nul(), a lot more remain...

No functional changes in this patch, but it prepares us for returning
a more useful cookie related to the IO that was queued up.

<title>block: add a bi_error field to struct bio</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4246a0b63bd8f56a1469b12eafeb875b1041a451</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:

 (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
 (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback

The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.

So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Fixup the usage of bio_for_each_segment(). Also fix wrong use
of __bio_kunmap_atomic() - it needs the mapped buffer passed in,
not the originally mapped page.

To support FRAME_POINTER avoid using a7 in __simc (none of the existing
simcalls needs it). Replace calls to __simc with more specific
simc_read, simc_write and simc_lseek calls.

The value passed is 0 in all but "it can never happen" cases (and those
only in a couple of drivers) *and* it would've been lost on the way
out anyway, even if something tried to pass something meaningful.
Just don't bother.
