rbd: use bio_clone_fast() instead of bio_clone()
bio_clone() makes a copy of the bi_io_vec, but rbd never changes that, so there is no need for a copy. bio_clone_fast() can be used instead, which avoids making the copy. This requires that we provide a bio_set. bio_clone() uses fs_bio_set, but it isn't, in general, safe to use the same bio_set at different levels of the stack, as that can lead to deadlocks. As filesystems use fs_bio_set, block devices shouldn't. As rbd never stacks, it is safe to have a single global bio_set for all rbd devices to use. So allocate that when the module is initialised, and use it with bio_clone_fast().
