The return value of bio_alloc_drbd can be NULL and is used without
validation, which may cause null-pointer dereference, fix it.

No, apparently it cannot, because it is basically a mempool_alloc()
with GFP_NOIO, it may sleep, but it will loop "forever" and not return NULL.
So rather fix that nonsense in bio_alloc_drbd, see below:
Thanks,
Lars
