Pavel Begunkov 759aa12f19 bio: don't rob starving biosets of bios
Biosets keep a mempool, so as long as requests complete we can always
can allocate and have forward progress. Percpu bio caches break that
assumptions as we may complete into the cache of one CPU and after try
and fail to allocate with another CPU. We also can't grab from another
CPU's cache without tricky sync.

If we're allocating with a bio while the mempool is undersaturated,
remove REQ_ALLOC_CACHE flag, so on put it will go straight to mempool.
It might try to free into mempool more requests than required, but
assuming than there is no memory starvation in the system it'll
stabilise and never hit that path.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
