Subject: [PATCH v5 4/7] block: introduce write-hint to stream-id conversion

This patch moves write-hint-to-stream-id conversion in block-layer.
Earlier this was done by driver (nvme). For user write-hints, conversion
is of the form "streamid = write-hint - 1". For kernel write-hints,
streams are allocated in top-to-bottom fashion. This has the effect of
mapping user-hints to lower range of stream-ids and kernel-hints to upper
range of stream-ids.
Conversion takes stream limit (maintained in request queue) into
account. Write-hints beyond the exposed limit turn to 0.
A new field 'streamid' has been added in request, while 'write-hint'
field has been removed. For merging checks, 'bi_write_hint' (of bio) is
used instead.
