btrfs: get rid of one layer of bios in direct I/O



In the worst case, there are _4_ layers of bios in the Btrfs direct I/O
path:

1. The bio created by the generic direct I/O code (dio_bio).
2. A clone of dio_bio we create in btrfs_submit_direct() to represent
   the entire direct I/O range (orig_bio).
3. A partial clone of orig_bio limited to the size of a RAID stripe that
   we create in btrfs_submit_direct_hook().
4. Clones of each of those split bios for each RAID stripe that we
   create in btrfs_map_bio().

As of the previous commit, the second layer (orig_bio) is no longer
needed for anything: we can split dio_bio instead, and complete dio_bio
directly when all of the cloned bios complete. This lets us clean up a
bunch of cruft, including dip->subio_endio and dip->errors (we can use
dio_bio->bi_status instead). It also enables the next big cleanup of
direct I/O read repair.
