There is a potential NULL pointer dereference in case
kzalloc() fails and returns NULL.

Fixes: bc082a55d25c ("bcache: fix inaccurate io state for detached bcache devices")

This should be using a mempool/bioset... just returning from a make_request
function is not correct, that's a serious bug - you're just dropping an IO on
the floor, which is going to cause whatever submitted that IO to hang.

How about this:

         * which would call closure_get(&dc->disk.cl)
         */
        ddip = kzalloc(sizeof(struct detached_dev_io_private), GFP_NOIO);
+       if (!ddip) {
+               bio->bi_status = BLK_STS_RESOURCE;
+               bio_endio(bio);
+               return;
+       }
        ddip->d = d;
        ddip->start_time = jiffies;
        ddip->bi_end_io = bio->bi_end_io;
