Not necessary, just a consistency thing - this bio is a clone that md
owns (and the clone was trimmed, so we know bi_idx is 0).
Also, it wasn't an issue here but after the patch that introduces the
bvec iter it's no longer possible to modify the biovec through
bio_for_each_segment_all() - it doesn't increment a pointer to the
current bvec, you pass in a struct bio_vec (not a pointer) which is
updated with what the current biovec would be (taking into account
bi_bvec_done and bi_size).
So because of that it is IMO more worthwhile to be consistent about
bio_for_each_segment()/bio_for_each_segment_all() usage.
Suppose I should stick all that in the patch description.
