block: rename generic_make_request to submit_bio_noacct
generic_make_request has always been very confusingly misnamed, so rename it to submit_bio_noacct to make it clear that it is submit_bio minus accounting and a few checks. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

provides drivers with a sector number relative to whole device, rather than
having to take partition number into account in order to arrive at the true
sector number. The routine blk_partition_remap() is invoked by
-generic_make_request even before invoking the queue specific ->submit_bio,
+submit_bio_noacct even before invoking the queue specific ->submit_bio,
so the i/o scheduler also gets to operate on whole disk sector numbers. This
should typically not require changes to block drivers, it just never gets
to invoke its own partition sector offset calculations since all bios
