I reviewed the code in bio_alloc, and then trace the process of bio_alloc
for verification.
It indicate that bvec_alloc() will fail on the condition that nr_iovecs is
greater than BIO_MAX_PAGES.
The patch should be updated for that.

I am sorry about the mistake in this patch, and thanks for the reviewing and
reminding.
