block: kill merge_bvec_fn() completely

As generic_make_request() is now able to handle arbitrarily sized bios,
it's no longer necessary for each individual block driver to define its
own ->merge_bvec_fn() callback. Remove every invocation completely.

/**
* blk_queue_merge_bvec - set a merge_bvec function for queue
* @q: queue
* @mbfn: merge_bvec_fn
*
* Usually queues have static limitations on the max sectors or segments that
* we can put in a request. Stacking drivers may have some settings that
* are dynamic, and thus we have to query the queue whether it is ok to
* add a new bio_vec to a bio at a given offset or not. If the block device
* has such limitations, it needs to register a merge_bvec_fn to control
* the size of bio's sent to it. Note that a block device *must* allow a
* single page to be added to an empty bio. The block device driver may want
* to use the bio_split() function to deal with these bio's. By default
* no merge_bvec_fn is defined for a queue, and only the fixed limits are
* honored.
