Subject: [PATCH] block: use SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for the bio slab
Git-commit: 1a7e76e4f130332b5d3b0c72c4f664e59deb1239
Patch-mainline: v5.16-rc1
References: jsc#PED-1183

This flags ensures that the pages will not be reused for non-bio
allocations before the end of an RCU grace period.  With that we can
safely use a RCU lookup for bio polling as long as we are fine with
occasionally polling the wrong device.
