block: Add blk_make_request(), takes bio, returns a request

New block API:
given a struct bio allocates a new request. This is the parallel of
generic_make_request for BLOCK_PC commands users.

The passed bio may be a chained-bio. The bio is bounced if needed
inside the call to this member.

This is in the effort of un-exporting blk_rq_append_bio().
