Jens Axboe 4a45a7dcc5 block: make bioset_exit() fully resilient against being called twice
[ Upstream commit 605f7415ec ]

Most of bioset_exit() is fine being called twice, as it clears the
various allocations etc when they are freed. The exception is
bio_alloc_cache_destroy(), which does not clear ->cache when it has
freed it.

This isn't necessarily a bug, but can be if buggy users does call the
exit path more then once, or with just a memset() bioset which has
never been initialized. dm appears to be one such user.

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.

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.
