vfs: make guard_bh_eod() more generic
This patchset implements readpages() operation for block device by using mpage_readpages() which can create multipage BIOs instead of BIOs for each page and reduce system CPU time consumption. This patch (of 3): guard_bh_eod() is used in submit_bh() to allow us to do IO even on the odd last sectors of a device, even if the block size is some multiple of the physical sector size. This makes guard_bh_eod() more generic and renames it guard_bio_eod() so that we can use it without struct buffer_head argument. The reason for this change is that using mpage_readpages() for block device requires to add this guard check in mpage code.
