block: add request submission interface
This patch adds blk_insert_cloned_request(), a generic request
submission interface for request stacking drivers.
Request-based dm will use it to submit their clones to underlying
devices.
blk_rq_check_limits() is also added because it is possible that
the lower queue has stronger limitations than the upper queue
if multiple drivers are stacking at request-level.
Not only for blk_insert_cloned_request()'s internal use, the function
will be used by request-based dm when the queue limitation is
modified (e.g. by replacing dm's table).
