Firstly bio_clone_mddev() is used in raid normal I/O and isn't
in resync I/O path.

Secondly all the direct access to bvec table in raid happens on
resync I/O except for write behind of raid1, in which we still
use bio_clone() for allocating new bvec table.

So this patch replaces bio_clone() with bio_clone_fast()
in bio_clone_mddev().

Having the _fast in the name would be really useful for the
reader.  And as far as I can tell in the callers mddev is never
NULL and neither is ->bio_set, so replacing bio_clone_mddev with
raw calls to bio_clone_fast would be my preference.

In theory, ->bio_set still might be NULL in case of failed memory allocation,
please see md_run().

Thanks,

And that's something that should be fixed.  Silently not having mempool
is very bad behavior.
