AFAIU, the reason is that, bio_alloc with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM
flags guarantees bio allocation under some given restrictions,
as stated in fs/direct-io.c
So here it is ok to not check for NULL value from bio_alloc.

I think we can update above info too in your commit msg.

Also we can further simplify it like below. Please check.
