In nvmet_passthru_execute_cmd() which is a high frequency function
it uses bio_alloc() which leads to memory allocation from the fs pool
for each I/O.

For NVMeoF nvmet_req we already have inline_bvec allocated as a part of
request allocation that can be used with preallocated bio when we
already know the size of request before bio allocation with bio_alloc(),
which we already do.

Introduce a bio member for the nvmet_req passthru anon union. In the
fast path, check if we can get away with inline bvec and bio from
nvmet_req with bio_init() call before actually allocating from the
bio_alloc().

This will be useful to avoid any new memory allocation under high
memory pressure situation and get rid of any extra work of
allocation (bio_alloc()) vs initialization (bio_init()) when
transfer len is < NVMET_MAX_INLINE_DATA_LEN that user can configure at
compile time.
