Subject: [PATCH v1 21/54] block: introduce bio_can_convert_to_sp()

This patch introduces bio_can_convert_to_sp() for checking
if one multipage bio can be converted into one singlepage
bio. If not, returns how many sectors we need to split for
converting the splitted one into singlepage bio.

In the following patches, block bounce and bcache will use
the helper.
