dm io: fix I/O to multiple destinations

Commit 003b5c5719f159f4f4bf97511c4702a0638313dd ("block: Convert drivers
to immutable biovecs") broke dm-mirror due to dm-io breakage.

dm-io had three possible iterators (DM_IO_PAGE_LIST, DM_IO_BVEC,
DM_IO_VMA) that iterate over pages where the I/O should be performed.

The switch to immutable biovecs changed the DM_IO_BVEC iterator to
DM_IO_BIO.  Before this change the iterator stored the pointer to a bio
vector in the dpages structure.  The iterator incremented the pointer in
the dpages structure as it advanced over the pages.  After the immutable
biovecs change, the DM_IO_BIO iterator stores a pointer to the bio in
the dpages structure and uses bio_advance to change the bio as it
advances.

The problem is that the function dispatch_io stores the content of the
dpages structure into the variable old_pages and restores it before
issuing I/O to each of the devices.  Before the change, the statement
"*dp = old_pages;" restored the iterator to its starting position.
After the change, struct dpages holds a pointer to the bio, thus the
statement "*dp = old_pages;" doesn't restore the iterator.

Consequently, in the context of dm-mirror: only the first mirror leg is
written correctly, the kernel locks up when trying to write the other
mirror legs because the number of sectors to write in the where->count
variable doesn't match the number of sectors returned by the iterator.

This patch fixes the bug by partially reverting the original patch - it
changes the code so that struct dpages holds a pointer to the bio vector,
so that the statement "*dp = old_pages;" restores the iterator correctly.

The field "context_u" holds the offset from the beginning of the current
bio vector entry, just like the "bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done" field.
