block: fix bugs in bio-integrity mempool usage

Fix two bugs in the bio integrity code:

use_bip_pool() always returns 0 because it checks against the wrong limit,
causing the mempool to be used only when regular allocation fails.

When the mempool is used as a fallback we don't free the data properly.
