Many thanks for your reply.

I do this mainly by code review, so I didn't find the condition trigger to begin with. But I think it's better
to do such a check as this is a external Interface. Also If bio_trim() set bio->bi_iter.bi_size to a value larger than the origin one,
we may access the bio_vec past the last one of bio->bi_io_vec in for_each_bvec macro.
