block: add bio_set_polled() helper
For the upcoming async polled IO, we can't sleep allocating requests. If we do, then we introduce a deadlock where the submitter already has async polled IO in-flight, but can't wait for them to complete since polled requests must be active found and reaped. Utilize the helper in the blockdev DIRECT_IO code. Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
