Introduce bio_new() helper and use it in blk-lib.c to allocate and
initialize various non-optional or semi-optional members of the bio
along with bio allocation done with bio_alloc(). Here we also calmp the
max_bvecs for bio with BIO_MAX_PAGES before we pass to bio_alloc().

I think that depending on the gfp_mask passed, bio can be NULL. So this should
be checked.


true, I'll add that check.

This function is obsolete. Open code this.


true, will do.
