The only metadata payload a READ or WRITE request can have is a protection
information one.  For a namespace formatted with protection information
bio_integrity_prep as called from blk_mq_make_request will ensure we
always have metadata attached.

If a namespace is formatted with non-PI metadata we will never have
metadata attached to the bio/request and should not even present the
namespace to the kernel.
