null_blk: remove the bio based I/O path

The bio based I/O path complicates null_blk and also make various
data structures, including the per-command one way bigger than
required for the main request based interface.   As the bio-based
path is mostly used by stacking drivers and simple memory based
drivers, and brd is a good example driver for the latter there is
no need to have a bio based path in null_blk.  Remove the path
to simplify the driver and make future block layer API changes
simpler by not having to deal with the complex two API setup in
null_blk.

Note that the queue_mode field in struct nullb_device is kept as
that is simpler than having two different places to check the
value and fully open coding the debugfs helpers as the existing
ones won't work without a named struct member.
