[PATCH RFC 4/7] block: define blk_qc_t as uintptr_t

[Jeffle Xu <jefflexu@linux.alibaba.com>]

To support iopoll for bio-based device, the returned cookie is actually
a pointer to an implementation specific object, e.g. an object
maintaining all split bios.

In such case, blk_qc_t should be large enough to contain one pointer,
for which uintptr_t is used here. Since uintptr_t is actually an integer
type in essence, there's no need of type casting in the original mq
path, while type casting is indeed needed in bio-based routine.
