Subject: [RFC PATCH 01/13] block: add request update interface

This patch adds an interface to update request information so that
request stacking drivers can complete only data part of a request
without completing the request.
Request stacking drivers can use it for partial completion.

Request stacking drivers like request-based dm need to complete
clone requests from bottom to top on the device stack in that order.
If request stacking drivers use blk_end_request() to updatethe original
request during partial completion (in bio->bi_end_io() hook),
the original request will be completed before the clone request when
all bios are completed.  It breaks the ordering.

blk_update_request() just completes only data part of a request and
updates information of the request, but doesn't complete the request.
