Subject: [PATCH 4/4] md: fast clone bio in bio_clone_mddev()

Firstly bio_clone_mddev() is used in raid normal I/O and isn't
in resync I/O path.

Secondly all the direct access to bvec table in raid happens on
resync I/O except for write behind of raid1, in which we still
use bio_clone() for allocating new bvec table.

So this patch replaces bio_clone() with bio_clone_fast()
in bio_clone_mddev().
