DM's clone_bio() now benefits from using bio_trim() by fixing the fact
that clone_bio() wasn't clearing BIO_SEG_VALID like bio_trim() does;
which triggers blk_recount_segments() via bio_phys_segments().

Please no, I later effectively reverted this change with commit
fa8db4948f522 ("dm: don't use bio_trim() afterall")

I've dropped it, thank you.

(As and aside, I really shouldn't have to defend against stable@ bots
picking up a commit, like 57c36519e4b949f, that wasn't marked for
stable@.)

Is it the case that this commit isn't appropriate for stable for some
reason, or was it just buggy?
