block: allow for_each_bvec to support zero len bvec
Block layer usually doesn't support or allow zero-length bvec. Since
commit 1bdc76aea115 ("iov_iter: use bvec iterator to implement
iterate_bvec()"), iterate_bvec() switches to bvec iterator. However,
Al mentioned that 'Zero-length segments are not disallowed' in iov_iter.
Fixes for_each_bvec() so that it can move on after seeing one zero
length bvec.
Fixes: 1bdc76aea115 ("iov_iter: use bvec iterator to implement iterate_bvec()")
