Subject: [PATCH 5.4 030/132] block: Set same_page to false in __bio_try_merge_page if ret is false

From: Ritesh Harjani <riteshh@...ux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 2cd896a5e86fc326bda8614b96c0401dcc145868 ]

If we hit the UINT_MAX limit of bio->bi_iter.bi_size and so we are anyway
not merging this page in this bio, then it make sense to make same_page
also as false before returning.

Without this patch, we hit below WARNING in iomap.
This mostly happens with very large memory system and / or after tweaking
vm dirty threshold params to delay writeback of dirty data.
