Subject: [APPENDIX PATCH 01/13] block: don't call
 __end_that_request_first() for clone

This patch adds a flag to indicate the request is a clone and
avoids __end_that_request_first() call for cloned requests
in blk_end_io().
So request-based dm can use blk_end_io() to complete clones
while dm doesn't want to complete the data in the clones.
