Subject: [PATCH] fs/buffer: try to submit writeback bio in unit of page

It is observed that __block_write_full_page() always submit bio with size of block size,
which is often 512 bytes.

In case of sequential IO, or >=4k BS random/seq writeback IO, most of times IO
represented by all buffer_head in each page can be done in single bio. It is actually
done in single request IO by block layer's plug merge too.

So check if IO represented by buffer_head can be merged to single page
IO, if yes, just submit single bio instead of submitting one bio for each buffer_head.
