This is a memory leaking during splitting the bio by the caller bio_clone_fast. Clone bio may allocate its own bvec, if demanding bvec is more than inline bvec in function bio_alloc_bioset. bi_io_vec is assigned to the source bio's bvec directly without freeing it firstly in function __bio_clone_fast. To fix it, freeing the own bvec firstly before assigning the source bio's bvec.
