block: simplify bio_add_page()
Since generic_make_request() can now handle arbitrary size bios, all we have to do is make sure the bvec array doesn't overflow. __bio_add_page() doesn't need to call ->merge_bvec_fn(), where we can get rid of unnecessary code paths. Removing the call to ->merge_bvec_fn() is also fine, as no driver that implements support for BLOCK_PC commands even has a ->merge_bvec_fn() method.
