When we attempt to merge off the cached request path, we return NULL
if successful. This makes the caller believe that it's should allocate
a new request, and hence we end up with the bio both merged and associated
with a new request. This, predictably, leads to all sorts of crashes.
Pass in a pointer to the bio pointer, and clear it for the merge case.
Then the caller knows that the bio is already queued, and no new requests
need to get allocated.

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.
