Subjectblock & iov_iter: use bvec iterator to implement iterate_bvec()
Date
Hi Guys,

The 1st two patches move bvec iterator helpers out from bio.h, then
they can be used even if CONFIG_BLOCK is disabled, so not necessary
to use iov iter own approach to do the job.

One motivation is that in the future we may support multipage bvecs,
as interests[1] have been shown in this idea, so looks better to
unify the implementation now.
