Typo with fat fingers. Thanks for catching it. Full patch with typo fixed.
[patch] fix blk_direct_IO bio preparation.
For large size DIO that needs multiple bio, one full page worth of data
was lost at the boundary of bio's maximum sector or segment limits.
After a bio is full and got submitted. The outer while (nbytes) { ... }
loop will allocate a new bio and just march on to index into next page.
It just forget about the page that bio_add_page() rejected when previous
bio is full. Fix it by put the rejected page back to pvec so we pick it
up again for the next bio.
