bio: Fix outdated comment about bio_alloc_bioset()

In commit 451a9eb bio_alloc_bioset() was refactored not to take NULL as a valid argument for bs. This patch changes the comment for that function accordingly. Currently, passing NULL as argument to parameter bs would result in a NULL pointer dereference. Signed-off-by: Jaak Ristioja <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <[email protected]>
