From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@huawei.com>

commit 93dec51e716db88f32d770dc9ab268964fff320b upstream.

If writemostly is enabled, alloc_behind_master_bio() will allocate a new
bio for rdev, with bi_opf set to 0. Later, raid1_write_request() will
clone from this bio, hence bi_opf is still 0 for the cloned bio. Submit
this cloned bio will end up to be read, causing write data lost.

Fix this problem by inheriting bi_opf from original bio for
behind_mast_bio.
