    drivers/vhost/blk: fix vhost_blk_req_done() softirq handling
    
    vhost_blk_req_done() does bio_release_pages(), which may sleep on
    folio_lock() when we need to dirty pages. So we get this:

    Kernel already has a suitable helper: bio_check_pages_dirty(). It
    takes bio ownership and dirties pages/puts bio later in some
    workqueue (see bio_set_pages_dirty() annotation).
    Also we should manually mark the pages dirty from
    vhost_blk_bio_send(), as they can be modified through DMA.
    
    While at here, move request posting below bio_put. I don't expect
    the worker could process and reuse the request before we access
    req->bb and req->bi_opf, but better be safe than sorry.
