In my original patch that I sent, I removed bio_alloc_bioset and left __bio_clone. But meanwhile, Kent Overstreet sent another patch that replaces both bio_alloc_bioset and __bio_clone with bio_clone_bioset. The reason for this crash is incorrect resolution of this conflict - bio_clone_bioset was removed (although my patch removed only bio_alloc_bioset) and __bio_clone was not added back.
