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.
