block: remove the same_page output argument to bvec_try_merge_page
bvec_try_merge_page currently returns if the added page fragment is within the same page as the last page in the last current bio_vec. This information is used by __bio_iov_iter_get_pages so that we always have a single folio pin per page even when the page is split over multiple __bio_iov_iter_get_pages calls. Threading this through the entire lowlevel add page to bio logic is annoying and inefficient and leads to less code sharing than otherwise possible. Instead add code to __bio_iov_iter_get_pages that checks if the bio_vecs did not change and thus a merge into the last segment must have happened, and if there is an offset into the page for the currently added fragment, because if yes we must have already had a previous fragment of the same page in the last bio_vec. While this is still a bit ugly, it keeps the logic in the one place that needs it and allows for more code sharing.
