block: remove bio_clone() and all references.
bio_clone() is no longer used. Only bio_clone_bioset() or bio_clone_fast(). This is for the best, as bio_clone() used fs_bio_set, and filesystems are unlikely to want to use bio_clone().

+The bio_clone_fast() routine may be used to duplicate a bio, where the clone
shares the bio_vec_list with the original bio (i.e. both point to the
same bio_vec_list). This would typically be used for splitting i/o requests
