block: refactor generic_make_request 

Move all the checks performed on a bio into a new helper, and call it as
soon as bio is submitted even if it is a re-submission from ->make_request.

We explicitly mark the new helper as beeing non-inlined as the stack
usage for printing the block device name in the failure case is quite
high and this a patch where we have to be extremely conservative about
stack usage.

/**
* generic_make_request - hand a buffer to its device driver for I/O
* @bio: The bio describing the location in memory and on the device.
*
* generic_make_request() is used to make I/O requests of block
* devices. It is passed a &struct bio, which describes the I/O that needs
* to be done.
*
* generic_make_request() does not return any status. The
* success/failure status of the request, along with notification of
* completion, is delivered asynchronously through the bio->bi_end_io
* function described (one day) else where.
*
* The caller of generic_make_request must make sure that bi_io_vec
* are set to describe the memory buffer, and that bi_dev and bi_sector are
* set to describe the device address, and the
* bi_end_io and optionally bi_private are set to describe how
* completion notification should be signaled.
*
* generic_make_request and the drivers it calls may use bi_next if this
* bio happens to be merged with someone else, and may change bi_dev and
* bi_sector for remaps as it sees fit. So the values of these fields
* should NOT be depended on after the call to generic_make_request.
