Next sentence is:
"Callers that need to allocate more than 1 bio must always submit the
previously allocated bio for IO before attempting to allocate a new
one."

__split_and_process_non_flush -> __map_bio -> submit_bio_noacct
bio_split
submit_bio_noacct

With commit 18a25da84354c, NeilBrown wrote the __split_and_process_bio()
with an eye toward depth-first submission to avoid this deadlock you're
concerned about.  That commit header speaks to it directly.

I did go on to change Neil's code a bit with commit f21c601a2bb31 -- but
I _think_ the current code is still OK relative to bio_split mempool
use.
