Subject: [PATCH 3.16 104/217] md: multipath: don't hardcopy bio in
 .make_request path

3.16.35-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@...onical.com>

commit fafcde3ac1a418688a734365203a12483b83907a upstream.

Inside multipath_make_request(), multipath maps the incoming
bio into low level device's bio, but it is totally wrong to
copy the bio into mapped bio via '*mapped_bio = *bio'. For
example, .__bi_remaining is kept in the copy, especially if
the incoming bio is chained to via bio splitting, so .bi_end_io
can't be called for the mapped bio at all in the completing path
in this kind of situation.

This patch fixes the issue by using clone style.
