Subject: [RPC PATCH 1/5] block: expose init_request_from_bio

When doing internal commands within LightNVM, we may form it as a bio.
It can then use the existing infrastructure for handling bio's.
Expose init_request_from_bio as blk_init_request_from_bio and allow
requests to initialized from bio's.
