[PATCH v10 3/8] dm: Use bioset's front_pad for dm_rq_clone_bio_info

[Kent Overstreet]

Previously, dm_rq_clone_bio_info needed to be freed by the bio's
destructor to avoid a memory leak in the blk_rq_prep_clone() error path.
This gets rid of a memory allocation and means we can kill
dm_rq_bio_destructor.

The _rq_bio_info_cache kmem cache is unused now and needs to be deleted,
but due to the way io_pool is used and overloaded this looks not quite
trivial so I'm leaving it for a later patch.

[PATCH v10 5/8] pktcdvd: Switch to bio_kmalloc()

[Kent Overstreet]

This is prep work for killing bi_destructor - previously, pktcdvd had
its own pkt_bio_alloc which was basically duplication bio_kmalloc(),
necessitating its own bi_destructor implementation.

v5: Un-reorder some functions, to make the patch easier to review

Please avoid "I" in a source file unless you are the author of the file or
put your name after your comments.

An unattributed "FIXME" style of comment here would be fine.
