Hi,

Interests[1] have been shown in multipage bvecs, so this patchset
try to prepare for the support and do two things:

1) the 1st 4 patches use bvec iterator to implement iterate_bvec(),
then we can drop the non-standard way for iterating bvec, which
can be thought as a good cleanup for lib/iov_iter.c

2) remove BIO_MAX_SECTORS & BIO_MAX_SIZE, and now there is only
one user for each. Once multipage bvecs is introduced, one bio
may hold lots of sectors, and we should always use sort of BIO_MAX_VECS
which should be introduced in future and is similiar with current
BIO_MAX_PAGES.

xfstests(-a auto) have been run and no regression found by this
patchset against linus v4.6-rc1-next-20160329.

V2:
	- rename bvec_iter.h as bvec.h
	- always include bvec.h into blk_types.h as suggested by Christoph

V1:
	- don't move BIO_MAX_* to bvec_iter.h as pointed out by Christoph
	- run xfstests against v4.6-rc1-next-20160329
	- add Reviewed-by
	- for 1,4 and 5, Reviewd-by not added, Christoph still expressed
	'this looks fine to me.'
