Because of how for_each_bvec() works it never advances across multiple
entries at a time, so bvec_iter_advance() is an overkill. Add
specialised bvec_iter_advance_single() that is faster. It also handles
zero-len bvecs, so can kill bvec_iter_skip_zero_bvec().

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out min()/max()
et al.  helpers.

At the same time convert users in header and lib folder to use new header.
Though for time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid
twisted indirected includes for other existing users.

Block layer usually doesn't support or allow zero-length bvec. Since
commit 1bdc76aea115 ("iov_iter: use bvec iterator to implement
iterate_bvec()"), iterate_bvec() switches to bvec iterator. However,
Al mentioned that 'Zero-length segments are not disallowed' in iov_iter.

Fixes for_each_bvec() so that it can move on after seeing one zero
length bvec.

bvec_iter_advance() is quite popular, but compilers fail to do proper
alias analysis and optimise it good enough. The assembly is checked
for gcc 9.2, x86-64.

- remove @iter-&gt;bi_size from min(...), as it's always less than @bytes.
Modify at the beginning and forget about it.

- the compiler isn't able to collapse memory dependencies and remove
writes in the loop. Help it by explicitely using local vars.

bvec-&gt;bv_offset may be bigger than PAGE_SIZE sometimes, such as,
when one bio is splitted in the middle of one bvec via bio_split(),
and bi_iter.bi_bvec_done is used to build offset of the 1st bvec of
remained bio. And the remained bio's bvec may be re-submitted to fs
layer via ITER_IBVEC, such as loop and nvme-loop.

So we have to make sure that every bvec's offset is less than
PAGE_SIZE from bio_for_each_segment_all() because some drivers(loop,
nvme-loop) passes the splitted bvec to fs layer via ITER_BVEC.

This patch fixes this issue reported by Zhang Yi When running nvme/011.
