block: call bio_uninit in bio_endio
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.
