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).
