odd behavior in caller.

You can be more precise here: the odd behavior is an infinite loop in
bio_iov_iter_get_pages() whcih is is the only user of __bio_iov_append_get_pages().

Note: the odd behavior mentioned in the commit message cannot currently be
triggered since only zonefs issues REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND BIOs so we are guaranteed
that max_append_sectors is not 0 in that case. But this fix certainly makes
things more solid. So:

Yes, zonefs will not run into this. Future users of zone-append may. I
encountered this endless loop while testing user zone-append path.
