Our request opcode needs to be write based(even) so that while forming nvme-tcp
packets we send this as part of the nvme capsule.

But now I think this design can be simplified as you suggested, if we align
COPY_SRC to even and COPY_DST to odd. This requires us to change the design by
sending dst bio first hence forming a write based request, followed by
src bio's.
Will send a follow up series next week fixing this.

Thank you,
