Subject: [PATCH 5.15 090/247] block: make bioset_exit() fully resilient against being called twice

From: Jens Axboe <axboe@...nel.dk>

[ Upstream commit 605f7415ecfb426610195dd6c7577b30592b3369 ]

Most of bioset_exit() is fine being called twice, as it clears the
various allocations etc when they are freed. The exception is
bio_alloc_cache_destroy(), which does not clear ->cache when it has
freed it.

This isn't necessarily a bug, but can be if buggy users does call the
exit path more then once, or with just a memset() bioset which has
never been initialized. dm appears to be one such user.

Fixes: be4d234d7aeb ("bio: add allocation cache abstraction")
