Yes, I'm aware of this additional memory allocation, however, raid1(and
similar to other levels) already need to allocate r1bio and some bios(1
for read, and copies for write), so this is not a none -> new case,
it's just a allocate 2 -> allocate 3 case.

I think performance under memory pressure are both bad with or without
this patch, and one one bio clone latency without memory reclaim should
be fine.

Thanks,
Kuai
