There were reports about heavy stack use by recursive calling
.bi_end_io()([1][2][3]). For example, more than 16K stack is
consumed in a single bio complete path[3], and in [2] stack
overflow can be triggered if 20 nested dm-crypt is used.
Also patches[1] [2] [3] were posted for addressing the issue,
but never be merged. And the idea in these patches is basically
similar, all serializes the recursive calling of .bi_end_io() by
percpu list.
This patch still takes the same idea, but uses bio_list to
implement it, which turns out more simple and the code becomes
more readable meantime.
One corner case which wasn't covered before is that
bi_endio() may be scheduled to run in process context(such
as btrfs), and this patch just bypasses the optimizing for
that case because one new context should have enough stack space,
and this approach isn't capable of optimizing it too because
there isn't easy way to get a per-task linked list head.
xfstests(-g auto) is run with this patch and no regression is
found on ext4, xfs and btrfs.

The patch seems to make sense, but this bit bothers me.
You are expecting bl_in_stack to still be usable after this block of
code completes. While it probably is, I don't think it is a good idea
to depend on it.
If you move the "struct bio_list bl_in_stack" to the top of the function
I would be a lot happier.
Or you could change the code to:
if (bl) {
bio_list_add(bl, bio);
} else {
struct bio_list bl_in_stack;
... use bl_in_stack,
while loop
set bio_end_list to NULL
}
and the code flow would all be must clearer.
