[V2,0/2] block: try to make aligned bio in case of big chunk IO

Hello,

The 1st adds check to avoid to call into iov_iter_revert() with zero
'unroll'.

The 2nd patch improves big chunk sequential IO performance by aligning
bio with max io size.

V2:
	- add patch 1/2
	- add 'max_size' hint to iov_iter_extract_pages() so that bio/iov
	  iter revert can be minimized, as suggested by Christoph

BTW, the check on 'bio->bi_bdev' isn't removed because there are more
such patterns(P2PDMA, block size check) in __bio_iov_iter_get_pages(),
and we need to audit that bio->bi_bdev is really non-NULL first, so it
shouldn't be part of this patchset
