It turns out that only one of the data item types is ever used at
any one time in a single message (currently).
- A page array is used by the osd client (on behalf of the file
system) and by rbd. Only one osd op (and therefore at most
one data item) is ever used at a time by rbd. And the only
time the file system sends two, the second op contains no
data.
- A bio is only used by the rbd client (and again, only one
data item per message)
- A page list is used by the file system and by rbd for outgoing
data, but only one op (and one data item) at a time.
We can therefore collapse all three of our data item fields into a
single field "data", and depend on the messenger code to properly
handle it based on its type.
This allows us to eliminate quite a bit of duplicated code.
