Subject: [PATCH 05/13] block: Only clone bio vecs that are in use

From: Kent Overstreet <koverstreet@...gle.com>

bcache creates large bios internally, and then splits them according to
the device requirements before it sends them down. If a lower level
device tries to clone the bio, and the original bio had more than
BIO_MAX_PAGES, the clone will fail unecessarily.

We can fix this by only cloning the bio vecs that are actually in use.
