Jon Derrick 8745faa956 md: Use optimal I/O size for last bitmap page
If the bitmap space has enough room, size the I/O for the last bitmap
page write to the optimal I/O size for the storage device. The expanded
write is checked that it won't overrun the data or metadata.

The drive this was tested against has higher latencies when there are
sub-4k writes due to device-side read-mod-writes of its atomic 4k write
unit. This change helps increase performance by sizing the last bitmap
page I/O for the device's preferred write unit, if it is given.

Example Intel/Solidigm P5520
Raid10, Chunk-size 64M, bitmap-size 57228 bits

$ mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=10 --raid-devices=4 /dev/nvme{0,1,2,3}n1
        --assume-clean --bitmap=internal --bitmap-chunk=64M
$ fio --name=test --direct=1 --filename=/dev/md0 --rw=randwrite --bs=4k --runtime=60

Without patch:
  write: IOPS=1676, BW=6708KiB/s (6869kB/s)(393MiB/60001msec); 0 zone resets

With patch:
  write: IOPS=15.7k, BW=61.4MiB/s (64.4MB/s)(3683MiB/60001msec); 0 zone resets

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.
