From: Shaohua Li <shli@xxxxxx> bio_free isn't a good place to free cgroup/integrity info. There are a lot of cases bio is allocated in special way (for example, in stack) and never gets called by bio_put hence bio_free, we are leaking memory. This patch moves the free to bio endio, which should be called anyway. The __bio_free call in bio_free is kept, in case the bio never gets called bio endio.
