Long Li c9c9762d4d block: return the correct bvec when checking for gaps 
After commit 07173c3ec2 ("block: enable multipage bvecs"), a bvec can
have multiple pages. But bio_will_gap() still assumes one page bvec while
checking for merging. If the pages in the bvec go across the
seg_boundary_mask, this check for merging can potentially succeed if only
the 1st page is tested, and can fail if all the pages are tested.

Later, when SCSI builds the SG list the same check for merging is done in
__blk_segment_map_sg_merge() with all the pages in the bvec tested. This
time the check may fail if the pages in bvec go across the
seg_boundary_mask (but tested okay in bio_will_gap() earlier, so those
BIOs were merged). If this check fails, we end up with a broken SG list
for drivers assuming the SG list not having offsets in intermediate pages.
This results in incorrect pages written to the disk.

Fix this by returning the multi-page bvec when testing gaps for merging.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
