In general I think each of these driver patches in the series needs a
one-line summary in the description, e.g.:
Embed bioset and mempool_t to avoid pointer indirection in the fast IO path.

But that aside, on a code level, I had to double check bioset_exit() is
safe to call even if bioset_init() failed. AFter confirming it is (and
double checking by chatting with Kent) I like how the code is simpler
(not having to check if the bioset is set before calling it).

Nice job Kent, like you said: mostly mechnical. But even the changes
that weren't purely mechnical (e.g. passing r to ERR_PTR, rather than
using old hardcode) were fixed up nicely.
