Subject: [RFC][PATCH 3/10] I/O context inheritance


Make every bio points the iocontext of the process which originally
generated an I/O request. (part 2)

 - Assign the iocontext which the source bio has to a bio when it is
   allocated as a bounce buffer.
 - Assign the iocontext which the source bio has to bios when the source
   bio is split into several ones, which some device mapper modules require.
