md/linear: improve bio splitting.
linear_make_request() uses fs_bio_set, which is meant for filesystems to use, and loops, possible allocating from the same bio set multiple times. These behaviors can theoretically cause deadlocks, though as linear requests are hardly ever split, it is unlikely in practice. Change to use mddev->bio_set - otherwise unused for linear, and submit the tail of a split request to generic_make_request() for it to handle.
