block: Fix start and length check added to iov_iter_extract_bvecs()
Commit 14b007e17881 added an address check using iter_iov_addr() and a length check using iter_iov_len() to iov_iter_extract_bvecs(), but these cannot be used so and are unsafe in this circumstance as the functions have hardwired assumptions about the iterator type. They should only be used with ITER_UBUF or ITER_IOVEC-type iterators; they shouldn't be used with ITER_BVEC, ITER_KVEC, ITER_FOLIOQ, ITER_XARRAY or ITER_DISCARD iterators. This proves to be a problem for cachefiles as an iterator of type ITER_FOLIOQ is passed and iter_iov_addr() and iter_iov_len() both malfunction because iter->__iov in iter_iov() is not pointing to an iovec array. Fix this by using iov_iter_alignment() instead.
