Subject: [PATCH 1/3] block: move trace_block_bio_remap() before blk_partition_remap

block_bio_remap tracepoint keep tracks of remapping information of
the @bio. IOW, if underlying disk remaps @bio to other disk, it
could be tracked using the tracepoint in __generic_make_request()
loop. However, blk_partition_remap() also modifies the information
before the tracepoint so that the remapping chain could be diverged
and this could make some potential userspace tools confused.

Moving the tracepoint before blk_partition_remap() can help it.
