In the fabric solution the Initiator side is the SW controller of the
namespace and the target is kinda HW controller.
The SW controller is doing the reftag remapping during prepare/complete
functions and it should be done only once.
The HW controller should write/read the data from the media as is (and
maybe verify/add it).
When you're using an NVMe disk as the bdev for the target namespace,
then prepare/complete will be called also in the "target" side and we
don't want double remapping to happen.
In the complete_fn there is no option to skip the remapping...
So we added a flag for it.
