xfs: optimize bio handling in the buffer writeback path This patch implements two closely related changes: First it embeds a bio the ioend structure so that we don't have to allocate one separately. Second it uses the block layer bio chaining mechanism to chain additional bios off this first one if needed instead of manually accounting for multiple bio completions in the ioend structure. Together this removes a memory allocation per ioend and greatly simplifies the ioend setup and I/O completion path.
