Bios allocated in submit_bh_wbc are properly freed via their end_io handler. Since commit 48f22f80938d, bio_put() caches them in a per-CPU bio cache for reuse rather than freeing them back to the mempool. While cached bios are reachable by kmemleak via the per-CPU cache pointers, once recycled for new I/O they are only referenced by block layer internals that kmemleak does not scan, causing false positive leak reports. Mark the bio allocation with kmemleak_not_leak() to suppress the false positive.
