[ Upstream commit 168145f617d57bf4e474901b7ffa869337a802e6 ]

bio_iov_iter_get_pages() trims the IO based on the block size of the
block device the IO will be issued to.

However, bcachefs is a multi device filesystem; when we're creating the
bio we don't yet know which block device the bio will be submitted to -
we have to handle the alignment checks elsewhere.

Thus this is needed to avoid a null ptr deref.

We are certainly not going to backport bcachefs to -stable. Please
drop.

I already said as much 3 days ago:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/cd341326-cfaf-4796-8894-2241e7b630d9@xxxxxxxxx/

but didn't hear back yet.

Dropped, and sorry for lack of timely replies on this - I let them
collect feedback for a few weeks before going through it and dropping
what needs to be dropped.
