The warning is a false positive, caused by the fact that all
wait_for_completion()s in submit_bio_wait() are waiting with the same
lock class.

However, some bios have nothing to do with others, for example, the case
might happen while using loop devices, between bios of an upper device
and a lower device(=loop device).

The safest way to assign different lock classes to different devices is
to do it for each gendisk. In other words, this patch assigns a
lockdep_map per gendisk and uses it when initializing completion in
submit_bio_wait().

Of course, it might be too conservative. But, making it safest for now
and extended by block layer experts later is good, atm.
