Historically __bio_clone itself does not clone the payload, just the
bio.  But we got rid of the callers that want to clone a bio but not
the payload long time ago.

I'd suggest a prep patch that moves assigning bi_io_vec from
bio_alloc_clone and bio_init_clone into __bio_clone, and given that they
are the same field that'll take carw of the dma token as well.
Alternatively do it in an if/else that the compiler will hopefully
optimize away.

No else after an return please.

Please split the dmabuf logic into a self-contained
helper here.

Why are we hardcoding PAGE_SIZE based "segments" here?

No else after a goto either.
