I don't see how this can happen. A bio stashed into kiocb->private needs
to belong to the correct device initially. For it to point to the "wrong"
device it needs to have been completed on the correct one, and then be
reused for a different device. At the point it is reused that device
must obviously have been alive, and for it to be freed a RCU grace
period must have been passed. And that grace period can't have started
earlier than when iocb_bio_iopoll was called.
