[1/8] btrfs: bioset allocations will never fail, adapt our helpers

Christoph pointed out that bio allocations backed by a bioset will never
fail.  As we always use a bioset for all bio allocations, we can skip
the error handling.  This patch adjusts our low-level helpers, the
cascaded changes to all callers will come next.

David,

  Looks like this feature comes when  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is
  set and we aren't, such as [1]. Any idea why? Looks like I am
  missing something ?


[1]
-----
static int submit_extent_page(int op, int op_flags, struct 
extent_io_tree *tree,
::

  bio = btrfs_bio_alloc(bdev, sector, BIO_MAX_PAGES,
                 GFP_NOFS | __GFP_HIGH);

------

Thanks, Anand

#define __GFP_RECLAIM ((__force gfp_t)(___GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM|___GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM))


#define GFP_NOFS        (__GFP_RECLAIM | __GFP_IO)

bio_alloc_bioset:

 406  *   When @bs is not NULL, if %__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is set then bio_alloc will
 407  *   always be able to allocate a bio. This is due to the mempool guarantees.

GFP_NOFS contains __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM, so what's the problem? __GFP_HIGH
allows using the reserves, but should not otherwise change the constraints.
And it's use seems unnecessary, as far as I could track in the history.
