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.
