Most DM targets will remap the clone bio passed to their ->map
function using bio_set_bdev(). So this change to pass NULL bdev to
bio_alloc_clone avoids clone-time work that sets up resources for a
bdev association that will not be used in practice (e.g. clone issued
to underlying device will not use DM device's blk-cgroups resources).
But clone->bi_bdev is still initialized following bio_alloc_clone to
preserve DM target expectations that clone->bi_bdev will be set.
Follow-up work is needed to audit DM targets to remove accesses to a
clone->bi_bdev that the target didn't initialize with bio_set_dev().
Depends-on: 7ecc56c ("block: allow passing a NULL bdev to bio_alloc_clone/bio_init_clone")
