Is this revised patch OK with you?

Subject: [PATCH] dm crypt: fix error with too large bcache bios

When dm-crypt processes writes, it allocates a new bio in
crypt_alloc_buffer().  The bio is allocated from a bio set and it can
have at most BIO_MAX_PAGES vector entries, however the incoming bio can be
larger if it was allocated by bcache.  If the incoming bio is larger,
bio_alloc_bioset() fails and an error is returned.

To avoid the error, we test for a too large bio in the function
crypt_map() and use dm_accept_partial_bio() to split the bio.
dm_accept_partial_bio() trims the current bio to the desired size and
asks DM core to send another bio with the rest of the data.

This fix is wrapped with a check for CONFIG_BCACHE because there
currently isn't any other code that generates too large bios.  So unless
bcache is configured there is no point wasting time making this check.
