[PATCH v2 0/7] bio_split() error handling rework

[John Garry <john.g.garry@oracle.com>]

bio_split() error handling could be improved as follows:
- Instead of returning NULL for an error - which is vague - return a
  PTR_ERR, which may hint what went wrong.
- Remove BUG_ON() calls - which are generally not preferred - and instead
  WARN and pass an error code back to the caller. Many callers of
  bio_split() don't check the return code. As such, for an error we would
  be getting a crash still from an invalid pointer dereference.

Most bio_split() callers don't check the return value. However, it could
be argued the bio_split() calls should not fail. So far I have just
fixed up the md RAID code to handle these errors, as that is my interest
now.

The motivator for this series was initial md RAID atomic write support in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/21f19b4b-4b83-4ca2-a93b-0a433741fd26@oracle.com/

There I wanted to ensure that we don't split an atomic write bio, and it
made more sense to handle this in bio_split() (instead of the bio_split()
caller).

Based on f1be1788a32e (block/for-6.13/block) block: model freeze & enter
queue as lock for supporting lockdep

Changes since RFC:
- proper handling to end the raid bio in all cases, and also pass back
  proper error code (Kuai)
- Add WARN_ON_ERROR in bio_split() (Johannes, Christoph)
- Add small patch to use BLK_STS_OK in bio_init()
- Change bio_submit_split() error path (Christoph)
