block: use bvec iterator helper for bio_may_need_split()
bio_may_need_split() uses bi_vcnt to determine if a bio has a single segment, but bi_vcnt is unreliable for cloned bios. Cloned bios share the parent's bi_io_vec array but iterate over a subset via bi_iter, so bi_vcnt may not reflect the actual segment count being iterated. Replace the bi_vcnt check with bvec iterator access via __bvec_iter_bvec(), comparing bi_iter.bi_size against the current bvec's length. This correctly handles both cloned and non-cloned bios. Move bi_io_vec into the first cache line adjacent to bi_iter. This is a sensible layout since bi_io_vec and bi_iter are commonly accessed together throughout the block layer - every bvec iteration requires both fields. This displaces bi_end_io to the second cache line, which is acceptable since bi_end_io and bi_private are always fetched together in bio_endio() anyway. The struct layout change requires bio_reset() to preserve and restore bi_io_vec across the memset, since it now falls within BIO_RESET_BYTES. Nitesh verified that this patch doesn't regress NVMe 512-byte IO perf [1].
