Subject: cleanup bio_kmalloc v3

Hi Jens,

this series finishes off the bio allocation interface cleanups by dealing
with the weirdest member of the famility.  bio_kmalloc combines a kmalloc
for the bio and bio_vecs with a hidden bio_init call and magic cleanup
semantics.

This series moves a few callers away from bio_kmalloc and then turns
bio_kmalloc into a simple wrapper for a slab allocation of a bio and the
inline biovecs.  The callers need to manually call bio_init instead with
all that entails and the magic that turns bio_put into a kfree goes away
as well, allowing for a proper debug check in bio_put that catches
accidental use on a bio_init()ed bio.

Changes since v2:
 - rebased to 5.18-rc1
 - fix bio freeing in squashfs

Changes since v1:
 - update a pre-existing comment per maintainer suggestion
