bio_trim() has an early return, which makes it _not_ idempotent, if the
offset is 0 and the bio's bi_size already matches the requested size.
Prior to DM, all users of bio_trim() were fine with this. But DM has
exposed the fact that bio_trim()'s early return is incompatible with a
cloned bio whose integrity payload must be trimmed via
bio_integrity_trim().
Fix this by reverting DM back to doing the equivalent of bio_trim() but
in an idempotent manner (so bio_integrity_trim is always performed).
Follow-on work is needed to assess what benefit bio_trim()'s early
return is providing to its existing callers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
