block: fix bugs in bio-integrity mempool usage

Fix two bugs in the bio integrity code:

 use_bip_pool() always returns 0 because it checks against the wrong limit,
 causing the mempool to be used only when regular allocation fails.

 When the mempool is used as a fallback we don't free the data properly.
