The only user of polling requires its original request be completed in its entirety before continuing execution. If the bio needs to be split and chained for any reason, the direct IO path would have waited for just that split portion to complete, leading to potential data corruption if the remaining transfer has not yet completed.
This patch has blk-mq return an invalid cookie if a bio requires splitting so that polling does not occur.
