bio: fix kmemleak false positives from percpu bio alloc cache
When a bio is allocated from the mempool with REQ_ALLOC_CACHE set and later completed, bio_put() places it into the per-cpu bio_alloc_cache via bio_put_percpu_cache() instead of freeing it back to the mempool/slab. The slab allocation remains tracked by kmemleak, but the only reference to the bio is through the percpu cache's free_list, which kmemleak fails to trace through percpu memory. This causes kmemleak to report the cached bios as unreferenced objects. Use symmetric kmemleak_free()/kmemleak_alloc() calls to properly track bios across percpu cache transitions: - bio_put_percpu_cache: call kmemleak_free() when a bio enters the cache, unregistering it from kmemleak tracking. - bio_alloc_percpu_cache: call kmemleak_alloc() when a bio is taken from the cache for reuse, re-registering it so that genuine leaks of reused bios remain detectable. - __bio_alloc_cache_prune: call kmemleak_alloc() before bio_free() so that kmem_cache_free()'s internal kmemleak_free() has a matching allocation to pair with.
