zone-append with bvec iov_iter gives WARN_ON, and returns -EINVAL.
Add new helper to process such iov_iter and add pages in bio honoring
zone-append specific constraints.

The only user of this function that issues zone append requests is zonefs. The
issued requests are not using bvec iter but a user direct IO buffer iter. So
this change would have no user at all as far as I can see. Am I missing
something ? What IO path makes this change necessary ?

Yes, zonefs does not use bvec iter. But while enabling io-uring path for
zone-append, I hit into this condition returning -EINVAL.
Reference (from user zone-append series cover letter):
"Append using io_uring fixed-buffer --->
This is flagged as not-supported at the moment. Reason being, for fixed-buffer
io-uring sends iov_iter of bvec type. But current append-infra in block-layer
does not support such iov_iter."

And zone-append doesn't have a problem in using bvec iter as well, so
thought that this may make infra more complete/future-proof?
