This function allocates a bio, then a collection of pages. It copes with failure. It currently uses a mempool() to allocate the bio, but alloc_page() to allocate the pages. These fail in different ways, so the usage is inconsistent. Change the bio_clone() to bio_clone_kmalloc() so that no pool is used either for the bio or the pages.
