block: Kill bi_destructor
Now that we've got generic code for freeing bios allocated from bio
pools, this isn't needed anymore.
This patch also makes bio_free() static, since without bi_destructor
there should be no need for it to be called anywhere else.
bio_free() is now only called from bio_put, so we can refactor those a
bit - move some code from bio_put() to bio_free() and kill the redundant
bio->bi_next = NULL.
v5: Switch to BIO_KMALLOC_POOL ((void *)~0), per Boaz
v6: BIO_KMALLOC_POOL now NULL, drop bio_free's EXPORT_SYMBOL
v7: No #define BIO_KMALLOC_POOL anymore
