[dm-devel] [PATCH] dm: fix false alarm in free_rq_clone() for non blk-mq target

When stacking request-based dm device on non blk-mq device
and device-mapper target could not map the request
(error target is used, multipath target with all paths down, etc),
following warning will show up once:

  WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 0 at drivers/md/dm.c:1090 free_rq_clone+0x7a/0xf0

The warning was added by commit aa6df8dd28c0 ("dm: fix free_rq_clone()
NULL pointer when requeueing unmapped request").

But free_rq_clone() with clone->q == NULL is valid usage for non blk-mq
underlying device. Such a call can happen via dm_kill_unmapped_request().
