bch_bio_alloc_pages() is always called on one new bio, so it is safe
to access the bvec table directly. Given it is the only kind of this
case, open code the bvec table access since bio_for_each_segment_all()
will be changed to support for iterating over multipage bvec.

Hi Ming,
quoted
-	bio_for_each_segment_all(bv, bio, i) {
+	for (i = 0, bv = bio->bi_io_vec; i < bio->bi_vcnt; bv++) {

Is it possible to treat this as a special condition of
bio_for_each_segement_all() ? I mean only iterate one time in
bvec_for_each_segment(). I hope the above change is not our last choice
before I reply an Acked-by :-)
Now the bvec from bio_for_each_segement_all() can't be changed any more
since the referenced 'bvec' is generated in-flight given we store
real multipage bvec.

BTW, this way is actually suggested by Christoph for saving one new
helper of bio_for_each_bvec_all() as done in V6, and per previous discussion,
seems both Kent and Christoph agrees to convert bcache into bio_add_page()
finally.

So I guess this open code style should be fine.
Hi Ming,

I see, thanks for the hint.
