dm: enhance alloc_multiple_bios() to be more versatile

alloc_multiple_bios() has the useful ability to try allocating bios
with GFP_NOWAIT but will fallback to using GFP_NOIO.  The callers
service both empty flush bios and abnormal bios (e.g. discard).

alloc_multiple_bios() enhancements offered in this commit:
- don't require table_devices_lock if num_bios = 1
- allow caller to pass GFP_NOWAIT to do usual GFP_NOWAIT with GFP_NOIO
  fallback
- allow caller to pass GFP_NOIO to _only_ allocate using GFP_NOIO

Flush bios with data may be issued to DM with REQ_NOWAIT, as such it
makes sense to attempt servicing them with GFP_NOWAIT allocations.

But abnormal IO should never be issued using REQ_NOWAIT (if that
changes in the future that's fine, but no sense supporting it now).

While at it, rename __send_changing_extent_only() to
__send_abnormal_io().

[Thanks to both Ming and Mikulas for help with translating known
possible IO scenarios to requirements.]
