This comment above __bio_try_merge_page() doesn't make sense after this
change:

 This is a
 a useful optimisation for file systems with a block size smaller than the
 page size.

Can you please get rid of it in this patch?

The parentheses around (bv->bv_offset + bv->bv_len) and (off + len) are
unnecessary noise.

What's the point of the new (off + len) <= PAGE_SIZE check?

More unnecessary parentheses here.
