Chaitanya Kulkarni 3d3472f3ed null_blk: remove hardcoded alloc_cmd() parameter
Only caller of alloc_cmd() is null_submit_bio() unconditionally sets
second parameter to true and that is statically hard-coded in null_blk.
There is no point in having statically hardcoded function parameter.

Remove the unnecessary parameter can_wait and adjust the code so it
can retain existing behavior of waiting when we don't get valid
nullb_cmd from __alloc_cmd() in alloc_cmd().

The restructured code avoids multiple return statements, multiple
calls to __alloc_cmd() and resulting a fast path call to
prepare_to_wait() due to removal of first alloc_cmd() call.

Follow the pattern that we have in bio_alloc() to set the structure
members in the structure allocation function in alloc_cmd() and pass
bio to initialize newly allocated cmd->bio member.

Follow the pattern in copy_to_nullb() to use result of one function call
(null_cache_active()) to be used as a parameter to another function call
(null_insert_page()), use result of alloc_cmd() as a first parameter to
the null_handle_cmd() in null_submit_bio() function. This allow us to
remove the local variable cmd on stack in null_submit_bio() that is in
fast path.
