The way I understand the code is that if the target ->map_bio() method returns
DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE (in __map_bio()), then clone_endio() is not called since the
clone BIO is not submitted. But we still need to fail orig_bio, hence the check
in dm_io_dec_pending() to cover the submission path. Am I missing something ? Is
clone_endio() also called in that case ?

I do not like it either. It makes maintenance harder. But as explained above, I
did not see any other way to cover both the submission and completion cases.
