So, IIUC, the flag is just to prevent the bio from recursing while
being issued from blk-throtl after queued there for throttling. We
can probably extend the flag. I'm not sure how it'd interact with
stacked drivers tho. It'd definitely need to be cleared before
traveling down to a lower level device.

Thanks.
