This is useful for polled IO on a file, or for polled IO with the
io_uring passthrough mechanism. If bio allocations are done with
REQ_POLLED for those cases, then initializing the bio set with
BIOSET_PERCPU_CACHE enables the local per-cpu cache which eliminates
allocations (and frees) of bio structs when possible.
