The goal of this commit's various refactoring is to have LOCALIO's per IO initialization occur in process context so that we don't get into a situation where IO fails to be issued from workqueue (e.g. due to lack of memory, etc). Better to have LOCALIO's iocb initialization fail early. There isn't immediate need but this commit makes it possible for LOCALIO to fallback to NFS pagelist code in process context to allow for immediate retry over RPC.

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 reStructuredText 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.
