Subject: [PATCH] block: call bio_uninit in bio_endio
Git-commit: b222dd2fdd53a40dd8f1d3082ae98e52883cce0d
Patch-mainline: v4.13-rc1
References: fate#322738,fate#322919,fate#322950,fate#323773

bio_free isn't a good place to free cgroup info. There are a
lot of cases bio is allocated in special way (for example, in stack) and
never gets called by bio_put hence bio_free, we are leaking memory. This
patch moves the free to bio endio, which should be called anyway. The
bio_uninit call in bio_free is kept, in case the bio never gets called
bio endio.

This assumes ->bi_end_io() doesn't access cgroup info, which seems true
in my audit.

This along with Christoph's integrity patch should fix the memory leak
issue.
