Follow the pattern what we have in bio_alloc() to set the structure members in the structure allocation function in alloc_cmd() and pass bio to initialize newly allocated cmd->bio member. Follow the pattern in copy_to_nullb() to use result of one function call (null_cache_active()) to be used as a parameter to another function call (null_insert_page()), use result of alloc_cmd() as a first parameter to the null_handle_cmd() in null_submit_bio() function. This allow us to remove the local variable cmd on stack in null_submit_bio() that is in fast path.
