[PATCH 4/7] block: add a blk_steal_bios helper

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Date: 2017-11-02 18:29:51
Also in: linux-nvme
Subsystem: block layer, the rest · Maintainers: Jens Axboe, Linus Torvalds

This helpers allows to bounce steal the uncompleted bios from a request so
that they can be reissued on another path.
