block: use bio_clone_fast() in blk_rq_prep_clone()
Request cloning clones bios in the request to track the completion of each bio. For that purpose, we can use bio_clone_fast() instead of bio_clone() to avoid unnecessary allocation and copy of bvecs. This patch reduces memory footprint of request-based device-mapper (about 1-4KB for each request) and is a preparation for further reduction of memory usage by removing unused bvec mempool.
