Btrfs: use a btrfs bioset instead of abusing bio internals
Btrfs has been pointer tagging bi_private and using bi_bdev to store the stripe index and mirror number of failed IOs. As bios bubble back up through the call chain, we use these to decide if and how to retry our IOs. They are also used to count IO failures on a per device basis. Recently a bio tracepoint was added lead to crashes because we were abusing bi_bdev. This commit adds a btrfs bioset, and creates explicit fields for the mirror number and stripe index. The plan is to extend this structure for all of the fields currently in struct btrfs_bio, which will mean one less kmalloc in our IO path.
