[PATCH] MD: make bio mergeable

From: Shaohua Li
Date: Mon Apr 25 2016 - 19:52:46 EST


blk_queue_split marks bio unmergeable, which makes sense for normal bio.
But if dispatching the bio to underlayer disk, the blk_queue_split
checks are invalid, hence it's possible the bio becomes mergeable.

In the reported bug, this bug causes trim against raid0 performance slash
