Use of bio_clone_bioset() is inefficient if there is no need to clone
the original bio's bio_vec array. Best to use the bio_clone_fast()
variant. Also, just using bio_advance() is only part of what is needed
to properly setup the clone -- it doesn't account for the various
bio_integrity() related work that also needs to be performed (see
bio_split).
Address both of these issues by switching from bio_clone_bioset() to
bio_split().
Fixes: 18a25da8 ("dm: ensure bio submission follows a depth-first tree walk")
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 4.15+, requires removal of '&' before md->queue->bio_split

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
