Block layer usually doesn't support or allow zero-length bvec. Since commit 1bdc76aea115 ("iov_iter: use bvec iterator to implement iterate_bvec()"), iterate_bvec() switches to bvec iterator. However, Al mentioned that 'Zero-length segments are not disallowed' in iov_iter. Fixes for_each_bvec() so that it can move on after seeing one zero length bvec.
