nvme: don't check nvme_req flags for new req



nvme_clear_request() has a check for flag REQ_DONTPREP and it is called
from nvme_init_request() and nvme_setuo_cmd().

The function nvme_init_request() is called from nvme_alloc_request()
and nvme_alloc_request_qid(). From these two callers new request is
allocated everytime. For newly allocated request RQF_DONTPREP is never
set. Since after getting a tag, block layer sets the req->rq_flags == 0
and never sets the REQ_DONTPREP when returning the request :-

nvme_alloc_request()
	blk_mq_alloc_request()
		blk_mq_rq_ctx_init()
			rq->rq_flags = 0 <----

nvme_alloc_request_qid()
	blk_mq_alloc_request_hctx()
		blk_mq_rq_ctx_init()
			rq->rq_flags = 0 <----

The block layer does set req->rq_flags but REQ_DONTPREP is not one of
them and that is set by the driver.

That means we can unconditinally set the REQ_DONTPREP value to the
rq->rq_flags when nvme_init_request()->nvme_clear_request() is called
from above two callers.

Move the check for REQ_DONTPREP from nvme_clear_nvme_request() into
nvme_setup_cmd().

This is needed since nvme_alloc_request() now gets called from fast
path when NVMeOF target is configured with passthru backend to avoid
unnecessary checks in the fast path.
