Subject: [PATCH] block: makes bio_split support bio without data


Hi Jens,
 this patch has been sitting in my -next tree for a little while and I was
 hoping for it to go in for the next merge window.
 It simply allows bio_split() to be used on bios without a payload, such as
 'discard'.
 Are you happy with it going in though my 'md' tree, or would you rather take
 it though your 'block' tree?

Thanks,
NeilBrown

discard bio hasn't data attached. We hit a BUG_ON with such bio. This makes
bio_split works for such bio.
