Yes, when I wrote commit fa8db4948f522 I purposely did _not_ clear
BIO_SEG_VALID.  Commit 57c36519e4 wasn't born out of an observed need to
blk_recount_segments() (e.g. otherwise something would fail).

So I just reverted to what DM has done in clone_bio() for quite a long
time once using bio_trim() became a liability (since fixed in dm-crypt,
but not staged upstream yet).

Anyway: I'm open to reconsidering, by taking your patch, if there is a
genuine benefit/fix associated with triggering blk_recount_segments()
for clones.  I'm unaware of why it's needed...
