block: merge __bio_map_user_iov into bio_map_user_iov
And also remove the unused bdev argument.

Specifically, the problem appears to be caused by the removal of
the setting of bio->bi_bdev, which would previously be set to NULL.
If I add:
diff --git a/block/bio.c b/block/bio.c
index 0723d4c..ecac37b 100644
