[PATCH 01/11] dm io: fix bi_max_vecs

[Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>]

From: Heinz Mauelshagen <hjm@redhat.com>

The existing code allocates an extra slot in bi_io_vec[] and uses it to
store the region number.

This patch hides the extra slot from bio_add_page() so the region number
can't get overwritten.

Also remove a hard-coded SECTOR_SHIFT and fix a typo in a comment.
