Besides the mp naming we'd like to get rid off there also is just
a single user of this macro, please just expand it there.

And for this one please keep the segment vs bvec versions of these
macros close together in the file please, right now it follow the
bvec_iter_bvec variant closely.

Btw, I think the remaining users of bio_advance_iter() in bio.h
should probably switch to using __bio_advance_iter to make them a little
more clear to read.

space before the brace, please.

Please stick to passing the magic zero here as can often generate more
efficient code.

Talking about efficent code - I wonder how much code size we'd save
by moving this function out of line..

But while looking over this I wonder why we even need the max_seg_len
here.  The only thing __bvec_iter_advance does it to move bi_bvec_done
and bi_idx forward, with corresponding decrements of bi_size.  As far
as I can tell the only thing that max_seg_len does is that we need
to more iterations of the while loop to archive the same thing.

And actual bvec used by the caller will be obtained using
bvec_iter_bvec or segment_iter_bvec depending on if they want multi-page
or single-page variants.
