So I actually noticed this during code inspection a while ago, but I
think we need to use the actual underlying device instead of NULL here
to keep our block layer gurantees.  See the patch in my queue below.

Subject: block: assign bi_bdev for cloned bios in blk_rq_prep_clone

The cloned bios for the cloned request in blk_rq_prep_clone currently
still point to the original bi_bdev.  This is harmless because dm-mpath
doesn't look at bi_bdev but violates the invariants of always having
the correct bi_bdev.
