Subject: [PATCH 42/41] dm: convey that all flushes are processed as empty

Rename __clone_and_map_flush to __clone_and_map_empty_flush for added
clarity.

Reintroduce a BUG_ON() and add a few more helpful comments to the code
so that it is clear that all flushes are empty.

Cleanup __split_and_process_bio() so that an empty flush isn't processed
by a 'sector_count' focused while loop.
