__blkdev_direct_IO_simple() is allocating a bio on the stack.
When that bio needs to be split bio_chain_endio() invokes bio_put()
on this bio, causing the kernel to crash in mempool_free() as the
bio was never allocated from a mempool in the first place.
So call bio_get() before submitting to avoid this problem.
