block: support adding less than len in bio_add_hw_page
bio_add_hw_page currently always fails or succeeds. This is fine for the existing callers that always add PAGE_SIZE worth given that the max_segment_size and max_sectors must always allow at least a page worth of data. But when we want to add it for bigger amounts of data this means it can also fail when adding the data to a bio, and creating a fallback for that becomes really annoying in the callers. Make use of the existing API design that allows to return a smaller length than the one passed in and add up to max_segment_size worth of data from a larger input. All the existing callers are fine with this - not because they handle this return correctly, but because they never pass more than a page in.
