block: don't use bio_split_rw on misc operations

bio_split_rw is designed to split read and write bios with a payload.
Currently it is called by __bio_split_to_limits for all operations not
explicitly list, which works because bio_may_need_split explicitly checks
for bi_vcnt == 1 and thus skips the bypass if there is no payload and
bio_for_each_bvec loop will never execute it's body if bi_size is 0.

But all this is hard to understand, fragile and wasted pointless cycles.
Switch __bio_split_to_limits to only call bio_split_rw for READ and
WRITE command and don't attempt any kind split for operation that do not
require splitting.
