The issue is that zero (bvl).bv_len passed to bvec_iter_advance(), so
the iterator can't move on.

And I tried to avoid change to bvec_iter_advance() since this exact
issue only exists on for_each_bvec, and block layer won't support/allow
zero-length bvec.

It can be any zero-length bvec during the iterating.

The above change may bring more code duplication. Meantime, it can't
work because (bvl).bv_len isn't taken into account into bvec_iter_bvec(),
then how can the iterator advance?
