[PATCH 1/2] block: add bio_rewind() to reset bio_vec

[Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Provide a mechanism for drivers to "rewind" a bio, essentially undoing
all bio_advance() calls on the bio. After the rewind, the bio idx will
be 0, size and sector reset, and each bio_vec len and offset restored to
their initial values.
