So direct I/O also iterates over all folios for the bio, to unpin,
and in case of reads dirty all of them.

I wanted to plug something useful into cond_resched condition in the
caller.  Now number of bvecs isn't the number of folios as we can
physically merge outside the folio context, but I think this is about
as goot as it gets without changing the block code to return the
number of folios processed from __bio_release_pages and
bio_check_pages_dirty.
