[PATCH 2/2] bio: Free own bvec before assigning the source bio's bvec

[Minfei Huang]

This is a memory leaking during splitting the bio by the caller
bio_clone_fast.

Clone bio may allocate its own bvec, if demanding bvec is more than
inline bvec in function bio_alloc_bioset.

bi_io_vec is assigned to the source bio's bvec directly without freeing
it firstly in function __bio_clone_fast.

To fix it, freeing the own bvec firstly before assigning the source
bio's bvec.
