drbd: fix potential data corruption and protocol error
We assumed only bios with bi_idx == 0 would end up in drbd_make_request(). That is wrong. At least device mapper, in __clone_and_map(), may submit clones only covering a partial bio, but sharing the original bvec, by adjusting bi_idx and relevant other bio members of the clone. We used __bio_for_each_segment() in various places, even though that is documented as * drivers should not use the __ version unless they _really_ want to * run through the entire bio and not just pending pieces Impact: we would send the full bio bvec, even for the clone with bi_idx > 0, which will cause data corruption on the peer (because we submit wrong data at the clone offset), and will cause a DRBD protocol error, disconnect/reconnect and resync (thus fixing the corruption), because the next package header would be expected right in the middle of the sent data, causing DRBD magic mismatch. Fix: drop the assert, and use bio_for_each_segment() instead of the __ version.
