blk_end_request: add callback feature (take 4)
This patch adds a variant of the interface, blk_end_request_callback(),
which has driver callback feature.
Drivers may need to do special works between end_that_request_first()
and end_that_request_last().
For such drivers, blk_end_request_callback() allows it to pass
a callback function which is called between end_that_request_first()
and end_that_request_last().
This interface is only for fallback of other blk_end_request interfaces.
Drivers should avoid their tricky behaviors and use other interfaces
as much as possible.
Currently, only one driver, ide-cd, needs this interface.
So this interface should/will be removed, after the driver removes
such tricky behaviors.
o ide-cd (cdrom_newpc_intr())
In PIO mode, cdrom_newpc_intr() needs to defer end_that_request_last()
until the device clears DRQ_STAT and raises an interrupt after
end_that_request_first().
So end_that_request_first() and end_that_request_last() are called
separately in cdrom_newpc_intr().
This means blk_end_request_callback() has to return without
completing request even if no leftover in the request.
To satisfy the requirement, callback function has return value
so that drivers can tell blk_end_request_callback() to return
without completing request.
