Jens Axboe 1e42807918 block: reduce stack footprint of blk_recount_segments() 
blk_recalc_rq_segments() requires a request structure passed in, which
we don't have from blk_recount_segments(). So the latter allocates one on
the stack, using > 400 bytes of stack for that. This can cause us to spill
over one page of stack from ext4 at least:

 0)     4560     400   blk_recount_segments+0x43/0x62
 1)     4160      32   bio_phys_segments+0x1c/0x24
 2)     4128      32   blk_rq_bio_prep+0x2a/0xf9
 3)     4096      32   init_request_from_bio+0xf9/0xfe
 4)     4064     112   __make_request+0x33c/0x3f6

 6)     3808      64   submit_bio+0xb9/0xc3
 7)     3744      48   submit_bh+0xea/0x10e
 8)     3696     368   ext4_mb_init_cache+0x257/0xa6a [ext4]
 9)     3328     288   ext4_mb_regular_allocator+0x421/0xcd9 [ext4]
10)     3040     160   ext4_mb_new_blocks+0x211/0x4b4 [ext4]
11)     2880     336   ext4_ext_get_blocks+0xb61/0xd45 [ext4]

23)      896     176   __generic_file_aio_write_nolock+0x35f/0x393
24)      720      80   generic_file_aio_write+0x6c/0xc8
25)      640      80   ext4_file_write+0xa9/0x137 [ext4]
26)      560     320   do_sync_write+0xf0/0x137
27)      240      48   vfs_write+0xb3/0x13c
28)      192      64   sys_write+0x4c/0x74
29)      128     128   system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

Split the segment counting out into a __blk_recalc_rq_segments() helper
to avoid allocating an onstack request just for checking the physical
segment count.
