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.

Thanks,
Ming
