split, gpt and error all have a lot of similar code, and
are based on the presumption of one or more "partition" bdevs
on a "base" bdev. This results in quite a bit of duplicated
code between these three bdev modules. The error bdev
module does follow this same model - it just always has only
a one-to-one mapping between the error bdev and its base bdev.
As all of the modules move to allocating their own bdev_io
rather than allowing for adjusting an existing bdev_io and
resubmitting it, there will be even more duplicated code
between these modules.
So this patch adds a set of helper functions in the common
bdev library to eliminate all of this duplicated code.
This patch also moves the split module to use it - future
patches will also convert gpt and error.
