Should be switched to use bio_alloc instead.

Why does the use of bio_init() vs bio_alloc() bother you?

'struct dm_buffer' has a 'struct bio'.  That bio is allocated as part of
the dm_buffer in drivers/md/dmbufio.c:alloc_buffer() -- which is called
by various other bufio interfaces (e.g. __alloc_buffer_wait).  Bufio is
in control of ensuring forward progress by carefully managing the memory
associated with these buffers.  I don't see the benefit of bio_alloc()
here.  What am I missing?
