mainlining shenanigans

Most DM targets will remap the clone bio passed to their ->map
function using bio_set_bdev(). So this change to pass NULL bdev to
bio_alloc_clone avoids clone-time work that sets up resources for a
bdev association that will not be used in practice (e.g. clone issued
to underlying device will not use DM device's blk-cgroups resources).
But clone->bi_bdev is still initialized following bio_alloc_clone to
preserve DM target expectations that clone->bi_bdev will be set.
Follow-up work is needed to audit DM targets to remove accesses to a
clone->bi_bdev that the target didn't initialize with bio_set_dev().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
