bio: add allocation cache abstraction

Add a per-cpu bio_set cache for bio allocations, enabling us to quickly recycle them instead of going through the slab allocator. This cache isn't IRQ safe, and hence is only really suitable for polled IO. Very simple - keeps a count of bio's in the cache, and maintains a max of 512 with a slack of 64. If we get above max + slack, we drop slack number of bio's. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <[email protected]>
