It depends on what BIO_CLONED is supposed to do but maybe the right
thing to do is clearing BIO_CLONED on split bio? The split bio isn't
a clone after all.

This is no longer true.

What happens if bio_integrity_clone() fails?

I complained pretty loudly about this not being mentioned in the
description of this patch or the following one and there still is no
explanation. Come on, Kent.

First of all, I don't think this is necessary. In addition, this
doesn't have any comment explaining what it does and is never
mentioned or justified in patch description. Kent, you're repeating
the same mistakes even after being explicitly pointed out multiple
times. *Please* pay more attention.

Thanks.
