[PATCH] md: multipath: don't hardcopy bio in .make_request path

From: Ming Lei
Date: Fri Mar 11 2016 - 20:29:40 EST


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.
