Pavel Begunkov 54a88eb838 block: add single bio async direct IO helper
As with __blkdev_direct_IO_simple(), we can implement direct IO more
efficiently if there is only one bio. Add __blkdev_direct_IO_async() and
blkdev_bio_end_io_async(). This patch brings me from 4.45-4.5 MIOPS with
nullblk to 4.7+.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
