__nvme_check_ready() checks for (nvme_req(req)->flags &
NVME_REQ_USERCMD).  In nvme_setup_cmd(), nvme_clear_nvme_request()
clears the nvme_req(req)->flags when RQF_DONTPREP is not set.

Is it possible that this patch would have nvme_setup_cmd() erase a
nvme_req(req)’s NVME_REQ_USERCMD flag before __nvme_check_ready() is
called for each respective .queue_rq?
