[RFC,0/3] block: allow REQ_NOWAIT to some bio-based/stacked devices

Here is pretty straight forward attempt of handling REQ_NOWAIT for
bio-based and stacked devices.

They are marked with flag queue->limits.nowait_requests which tells that
queue method make_request() handles REQ_NOWAIT or doesn't delay requests,
and all backend devices do the same.

As a example second/third patches add support into md-raid0 and dm-linear.
