block: cache bdev in struct file for raw bdev IO
bdev = &BDEV_I(file->f_mapping->host)->bdev Getting struct block_device from a file requires 2 memory dereferences as illustrated above, that takes a toll on performance, so cache it in yet unused file->private_data. That gives a noticeable peak performance improvement.
