bio_clone() is no longer used.
Only bio_clone_bioset() or bio_clone_fast().
This is for the best, as bio_clone() used fs_bio_set,
and filesystems are unlikely to want to use bio_clone().
So remove bio_clone() and all references.
This includes a fix to some incorrect documentation.

shares the bio_vec_list with the original bio (i.e. both point to the
same bio_vec_list). This would typically be used for splitting i/o requests
