That's true md_make_request() always returns BLK_QC_T_NONE. md_make_request()
recursively calls generic_make_request() for the underlying device (e.g. nvme).
That block io request directed to member disk is added into bio_list and is 
processed later by top level generic_make_request(). generic_make_request() 
returns cookie that is returned by blk_mq_make_request().
That cookie is later used to poll for completion.
