Use of bio_clone_bioset() is inefficient if there is no need to clone the original bio's bio_vec array. Best to use the bio_clone_fast() variant. Also, just using bio_advance() is only part of what is needed to properly setup the clone -- it doesn't account for the various bio_integrity() related work that also needs to be performed (see bio_split).
Address both of these issues by switching from bio_clone_bioset() to bio_split().
