It is supposed to be freed from (c), specifically from
blk_mq_map_bio_put.

But yes, that messed it up.  I'm kinda curious why it didn't trip up
during my testing of the passthrough metadata code.  That bio_uninit
in bio_endio is quite bogus and I'm a bit suprised it hasn't caught
more errors - the reason why bio_uninit exists is specifically to deal
with those on-stack or embedded into bigger structure bios.
