which is due to bio->bi_bdev being NULL. This can happen if we have two
tasks doing polled IO, and task B ends up completing IO from task A if
they are sharing a poll queue. If task B completes the IO and puts the
bio into our cache, then it can allocate that bio again before task A
is done polling for it. As that would necessitate a preempt between the
two tasks, it's enough to just be a bit more careful in checking for
whether or not bio->bi_bdev is NULL.
