block: Add blk_make_request(), takes bio, returns a request
New block API: given a struct bio allocates a new request. This is the parallel of generic_make_request for BLOCK_PC commands users. The passed bio may be a chained-bio. The bio is bounced if needed inside the call to this member. This is in the effort of un-exporting blk_rq_append_bio().
