frontpad is not necessary if type is DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED.
Other pool creation in that function do something like:
pools->bs = (type == DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED) ?
bioset_create(pool_size, 0) :
bioset_create(pool_size, offsetof(struct dm_rq_clone_bio_info, clone));

dm: Use bioset's front_pad for dm_rq_clone_bio_info
Previously, dm_rq_clone_bio_info needed to be freed by the bio's
destructor to avoid a memory leak in the blk_rq_prep_clone() error path.
This gets rid of a memory allocation and means we can kill
dm_rq_bio_destructor.
The _rq_bio_info_cache kmem cache is unused now and needs to be deleted,
but due to the way io_pool is used and overloaded this looks not quite
trivial so I'm leaving it for a later patch.
