Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [RFC] libosd: Don't let osd abuse block internals, now
 that it's fixed


blk_put_request will delete any BIOs that where mapped but not
executed, so osd_initiator does not have to take care of this situation
any more.

This patch is dependent on block patch titled:

  [PATCH 1/2] block: Don't let blk_put_request leak BIOs
