bio: allow individual slabs in the bio_set



Instead of having a global bio slab cache, add a reference to one
in each bio_set that is created. This allows for personalized slabs
in each bio_set, so that they can have bios of different sizes.

This means we can personalize the bios we return. File systems may
want to embed the bio inside another structure, to avoid allocation
more items (and stuffing them in ->bi_private) after the get a bio.
Or we may want to embed a number of bio_vecs directly at the end
of a bio, to avoid doing two allocations to return a bio. This is now
possible.
