Subject: [PATCH v2] ext4: bio_alloc with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM never fails
Similar to [1] [2], bio_alloc with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM flags
guarantees bio allocation under some given restrictions, as
stated in block/bio.c and fs/direct-io.c So here it's ok to
not check for NULL value from bio_alloc().

changes since v1:
- fix commit message and simplify logic as suggested by Ritesh;
- add short messages ahead of bio_alloc suggested by Ted.
