Subject: [PATCH 2/3] block: add request submission interface
This patch adds blk_insert_cloned_request(), a generic request
submission interface for request stacking drivers.
Request-based dm will use it to submit their clones to underlying
devices.
blk_rq_check_limits() is also added because it is possible that
the lower queue has stronger limitations than the upper queue
if multiple drivers are stacking at request-level.
Not only for blk_insert_cloned_request()'s internal use, the function
will be used by request-based dm when the queue limitation is
modified (e.g. by replacing dm's table).

+ * This function should also be useful for request stacking drivers
+ * in some cases below, so export this fuction.
+ * Request stacking drivers like request-based dm may change the queue
+ * limits while requests are in the queue (e.g. dm's table swapping).
+ * Such request stacking drivers should check those requests agaist
+ * the new queue limits again when they dispatch those requests,
+ * although such checkings are also done against the old queue limits
