I know the problem now, since bi_vcnt can't be used for cloned bio,
and the patch I sent last time is wrong too.

The above change may cause some data not written to/read from
device, and we have to merge if segments number will become
bigger than the limit.

The attached patch should fix the problem, and hope it is the last one, :-)
