4.3-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxx>
commit bf4e6b4e757488dee1b6a581f49c7ac34cd217f8 upstream.
When a cloned request is retried on other queues it always needs
to be checked against the queue limits of that queue.
Otherwise the calculations for nr_phys_segments might be wrong,
leading to a crash in scsi_init_sgtable().
To clarify this the patch renames blk_rq_check_limits()
to blk_cloned_rq_check_limits() and removes the symbol
export, as the new function should only be used for
cloned requests and never exported.
