Legacy RQ allocates WQEs in batches. If the batch allocation fails, the pages of the allocated part are released. This commit changes this behavior to allow to use the pages that have been already allocated. After this change, we need to be careful about indexing rq->wqe.frags[]. The WQ size is a power of two that divides by wqe_bulk (8), and the old code used whole bulks, which allowed to use indices [8*K; 8*K+7] without overflowing. Now that the bulks may be partial, the range can start at any location (not only at 8*K), so we need to wrap them around to avoid out-of-bounds array access.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
