blk_end_request: add new request completion interface (take 4)

This patch adds 2 new interfaces for request completion:
  o blk_end_request()   : called without queue lock
  o __blk_end_request() : called with queue lock held

blk_end_request takes 'error' as an argument instead of 'uptodate',
which current end_that_request_* take.
The meanings of values are below and the value is used when bio is
completed.
    0 : success
  < 0 : error

Some device drivers call some generic functions below between
end_that_request_{first/chunk} and end_that_request_last().
  o add_disk_randomness()
  o blk_queue_end_tag()
  o blkdev_dequeue_request()
These are called in the blk_end_request interfaces as a part of
generic request completion.
So all device drivers become to call above functions.
To decide whether to call blkdev_dequeue_request(), blk_end_request
uses list_empty(&rq->queuelist) (blk_queued_rq() macro is added for it).
So drivers must re-initialize it using list_init() or so before calling
blk_end_request if drivers use it for its specific purpose.
(Currently, there is no driver which completes request without
 re-initializing the queuelist after used it.  So rq->queuelist
 can be used for the purpose above.)

"Normal" drivers can be converted to use blk_end_request()
in a standard way shown below.

 a) end_that_request_{chunk/first}
    spin_lock_irqsave()
    (add_disk_randomness(), blk_queue_end_tag(), blkdev_dequeue_request())
    end_that_request_last()
    spin_unlock_irqrestore()
    => blk_end_request()

 b) spin_lock_irqsave()
    end_that_request_{chunk/first}
    (add_disk_randomness(), blk_queue_end_tag(), blkdev_dequeue_request())
    end_that_request_last()
    spin_unlock_irqrestore()
    => spin_lock_irqsave()
       __blk_end_request()
       spin_unlock_irqsave()

 c) spin_lock_irqsave()
    (add_disk_randomness(), blk_queue_end_tag(), blkdev_dequeue_request())
    end_that_request_last()
    spin_unlock_irqrestore()
    => blk_end_request()   or   spin_lock_irqsave()
                                __blk_end_request()
                                spin_unlock_irqrestore()
