Subject: [PATCH v1 0/6] Remove rw_page

Recently, there was a dicussion about removing rw_page due to maintainance
burden[1] but the problem was zram because zram has a clear win for the
benchmark at that time. The reason why only zram have a win is due to
bio allocation wait time from mempool under extreme memory pressure.

Christoph Hellwig suggested we can use on-stack-bio for rw_page devices.
This patch implements it and replace rw_page operations with on-stack-bio
and then finally, remove rw_page interface completely.

This patch is based on linux-next-20170804

  mm:swap: remove end_swap_bio_write argument
  mm:swap: use on-stack-bio for BDI_CAP_SYNC devices
  zram: remove zram_rw_page
  fs: remove rw_page
