XFS has its own buffer cache for metadata that uses submit_bio, which
means that it no longer uses the block device pagecache for anything.
Create a more lightweight helper that runs the blocksize checks and
flushes dirty data and use that instead. No more truncating the
pagecache because XFS does not use it or care about it.

Currently only HW which can write at least 1x block is supported.
For supporting atomic writes > 1x block, a CoW-based method will also be
used and this will not be resticted to using HW which can write >= 1x
block.
However for deciding if HW-based atomic writes can be used, we need to
start adding checks for write length < HW min, which complicates the
code. Indeed, a statx field similar to unit_max_opt should also be
added for this minimum, which is undesirable.
HW which can only write > 1x blocks would be uncommon and quite weird,
so let's just not support it.

It's silly to call xfs_setsize_buftarg from xfs_alloc_buftarg with the
block device LBA size because we don't need to ask the block layer to
validate a geometry number that it provided us. Instead, set the
preliminary bt_meta_sector* fields to the LBA size in preparation for
reading the primary super.
However, we still want to flush and invalidate the pagecache for all
three block devices before we start reading metadata from those devices,
so call sync_blockdev() per bdev in xfs_alloc_buftarg().
This will enable a subsequent patch to validate hw atomic write geometry
against the filesystem geometry.

Now that we have the buffer cache using the folio API, we can extend
the use of folios to allocate high order folios for multi-page
buffers rather than an array of single pages that are then vmapped
into a contiguous range.
This creates a new type of single folio buffers that can have arbitrary
order in addition to the existing multi-folio buffers made up of many
single page folios that get vmapped. The single folio is for now
stashed into the existing b_pages array, but that will go away entirely
later in the series and remove the temporary page vs folio typing issues
that only work because the two structures currently can be used largely
interchangeable.
The code that allocates buffers will optimistically attempt a high
order folio allocation as a fast path if the buffer size is a power
of two and thus fits into a folio. If this high order allocation
fails, then we fall back to the existing multi-folio allocation
code. This now forms the slow allocation path, and hopefully will be
largely unused in normal conditions except for buffers with size
that are not a power of two like larger remote xattrs.
This should improve performance of large buffer operations (e.g.
large directory block sizes) as we should now mostly avoid the
expense of vmapping large buffers (and the vmap lock contention that
can occur) as well as avoid the runtime pressure that frequently
accessing kernel vmapped pages put on the TLBs.

The buffer cache keeps a bt_io_count per-CPU counter to track all
in-flight I/O, which is used to ensure no I/O is in flight when
unmounting the file system.
For most I/O we already keep track of inflight I/O at higher levels:
- for synchronous I/O (xfs_buf_read/xfs_bwrite/xfs_buf_delwri_submit),
the caller has a reference and waits for I/O completions using
xfs_buf_iowait
- for xfs_buf_delwri_submit_nowait the only caller (AIL writeback)
tracks the log items that the buffer attached to
This only leaves only xfs_buf_readahead_map as a submitter of
asynchronous I/O that is not tracked by anything else. Replace the
bt_io_count per-cpu counter with a more specific bt_readahead_count
counter only tracking readahead I/O. This allows to simply increment
it when submitting readahead I/O and decrementing it when it completed,
and thus simplify xfs_buf_rele and remove the needed for the
XBF_NO_IOACCT flags and the XFS_BSTATE_IN_FLIGHT buffer state.

The previous commit removed the page_list argument from
alloc_pages_bulk_noprof() along with the alloc_pages_bulk_list() function.
Now that only the *_array() flavour of the API remains, we can do the
following renaming (along with the _noprof() ones):
alloc_pages_bulk_array -> alloc_pages_bulk
alloc_pages_bulk_array_mempolicy -> alloc_pages_bulk_mempolicy
alloc_pages_bulk_array_node -> alloc_pages_bulk_node

Since commit 298f342245 ("xfs: lockless buffer lookup") the buffer
lookup fastpath is done without a hash-wide lock (then pag_buf_lock, now
bc_lock) and only under RCU protection. But this means that nothing
serializes lookups against the temporary 0 reference count for buffers
that are added to the LRU after dropping the last regular reference,
and a concurrent lookup would fail to find them.
Fix this by doing all b_hold modifications under b_lock. We're already
doing this for release so this "only" ~ doubles the b_lock round trips.
We'll later look into the lockref infrastructure to optimize the number
of lock round trips again.

Commit 32dd4f9c50 ("xfs: remove a superflous hash lookup when inserting
new buffers") converted xfs_buf_find_insert to use
rhashtable_lookup_get_insert_fast and thus an operation that returns the
existing buffer when an insert would duplicate the hash key. But this
code path misses the check for a buffer with a reference count of zero,
which could lead to reusing an about to be freed buffer. Fix this by
using the same atomic_inc_not_zero pattern as xfs_buf_insert.

The dquot and inode version are very similar, which is expected given the
overall b_li_list logic. The differences are that the inode version also
clears the XFS_LI_FLUSHING which is defined in common but only ever set
by the inode item, and that the dquot version takes the ail_lock over
the list iteration. While this seems sensible given that additions and
removals from b_li_list are protected by the ail_lock, log items are
only added before buffer submission, and are only removed when completing
the buffer, so nothing can change the list when retrying a buffer.

The code in _xfs_buf_ioapply is unnecessarily complicated because it
doesn't take advantage of modern bio features.
Simplify it by making use of bio splitting and chaining, that is build
a single bio for the pages in the buffer using a simple loop, and then
split that bio on the map boundaries for discontiguous multi-FSB buffers
and chain the split bios to the main one so that there is only a single
I/O completion.
This not only simplifies the code to build the buffer, but also removes
the need for the b_io_remaining field as buffer ownership is granted
to the bio on submit of the final bio with no chance for a completion
before that as well as the b_io_error field that is now superfluous
because there always is exactly one completion.

There is no good reason to pass a bool argument to wait for a buffer when
the callers that want that can easily just wait themselves.
This means the wait moves out of the extra hold of the buffer, but as the
callers of synchronous buffer I/O need to hold a reference anyway that is
perfectly fine.
Because all async buffer submitters ignore the error return value, and
the synchronous ones catch the error condition through b_error and
xfs_buf_iowait this also means the new xfs_buf_submit doesn't have to
return an error code.

__xfs_buf_submit calls xfs_buf_ioend when b_io_remaining hits zero. For
in-memory buftargs b_io_remaining is never incremented from it's initial
value of 1, so this always happens. Thus the extra call to xfs_buf_ioend
in _xfs_buf_ioapply causes a double completion. Fortunately
__xfs_buf_submit is only used for synchronous reads on in-memory buftargs
due to the peculiarities of how they work, so this is mostly harmless and
just causes a little extra work to be done.
