Dennis Zhou 892ad71f62 dm: set the static flush bio device on demand
The next patch changes the macro bio_set_dev() to associate a bio with a
blkg based on the device set. However, dm creates a static bio to be
used as the basis for cloning empty flush bios on creation. The
bio_set_dev() call in alloc_dev() will cause problems with the next
patch adding association to bio_set_dev() because the call is before the
bdev is associated with a gendisk (bd_disk is %NULL). To get around
this, set the device on the static bio every time and use that to clone
to the other bios.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
