Subject: [PATCH v2 6/7] fs: make _submit_bh consistent with generic bio chaining

From: Kent Overstreet <kmo@...erainc.com>

Make _submit_bh() handle refcounting by increasing bio->bi_remaining,
followed by bio_endio(). Since bio chaining was introduced with
196d38bccfcf ("block: Generic bio chaining"), refcounting should be
done on bi_remaining instead of ancient bio_cnt. Doing that, calling
convention can be consistent with the immutable biovecs API.
