sched/core: Separate out io_schedule_prepare() and io_schedule_finish()

Now that IO schedule accounting is done inside __schedule(),
io_schedule() can be split into three steps - prep, schedule, and
finish - where the schedule part doesn't need any special annotation.
This allows marking a sleep as iowait by simply wrapping an existing
blocking function with io_schedule_prepare() and io_schedule_finish().

Because task_struct->in_iowait is single bit, the caller of
io_schedule_prepare() needs to record and the pass its state to
io_schedule_finish() to be safe regarding nesting.  While this isn't
the prettiest, these functions are mostly gonna be used by core
functions and we don't want to use more space for ->in_iowait.

While at it, as it's simple to do now, reimplement io_schedule()
without unnecessarily going through io_schedule_timeout().
