Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This series consists of the usual driver updates (qla2xxx, pm8001,
  libsas, smartpqi, scsi_debug, lpfc, iscsi, mpi3mr) plus minor updates
  and bug fixes.

  The high blast radius core update is the removal of write same, which
  affects block and several non-SCSI devices. The other big change,
  which is more local, is the removal of the SCSI pointer"

initialization into __bio_clone_fast instead.

<title>block: clone crypto and integrity data in __bio_clone_fast</title>

<id>urn:sha1:56b4b5abcdab6daf71c5536fca2772f178590e06</id>
<content type='text'>
__bio_clone_fast should also clone integrity and crypto data, as a clone
without those is incomplete.  Right now the only caller that can actually
support crypto and integrity data (dm) does it manually for the one
callchain that supports these, but we better do it properly in the core.

Note that all callers except for the above mentioned one also don't need
to handle failure at all, given that the integrity and crypto clones are
based on mempool allocations that won't fail for sleeping allocations.

<content type='text'>
Pass the block_device that we plan to use this bio for and the
operation to bio_init to optimize the assignment.  A NULL block_device
can be passed, both for the passthrough case on a raw request_queue and
to temporarily avoid refactoring some nasty code.

Mark the three personalities (linear, fault and multipath) as deprecated
because:

1. people can use dm multipath or nvme multipath.
2. linear is already deprecated in MODULE_ALIAS.
3. no one actively using fault.

Except for pktdvd, the only places setting congested bits are file
systems that allocate their own backing_dev_info structures.  And
pktdvd is a deprecated driver that isn't useful in stack setup
either.  So remove the dead congested_fn stacking infrastructure.
