Jens and I discussed this further and given that linux-block breaks
dm-multipath it is best to fix linux-block and let Linus resolve the
merge when I send him the linux-dm pull.

Subject: [PATCH] dm: fix multipath regression due to initializing wrong request

initialized clone request") introduced a regression by calling
blk_rq_init() on the original request rather than the clone
request that is passed to setup_clone().
