More state in the task_strut is a bit sad, but not nearly as sad as deep
recursion in our deepest codepath..
Possibly one could do:
struct make_request_state {
struct bio *bio_list;
struct bio **bio_tail;
};
and stick a `struct make_request_state *' into the task_struct and actually
allocate the thing on the stack. That's not much nicer though.
Possibly it could go into struct io_context?
