Subject: [PATCH] block: fix update first/last mergeable segment sizes

To keep track of the max segment size, the sizes of the first and last 
mergeable segments in the bio are accounted, prev->bio->bi_seg_front_size
and next->biotail->bi_seg_back_size will be updated if blk_phys_contig_segment 
is true, however, there are still some scenarios such like nonconsistent
blk integrity which leads to merge fail, in addtion, futher merge fail is 
incurred due to bio->bi_seg_back_size + next->bi_seg_front_size > 
queue_max_segment_size(q) check in function blk_phys_contig_segment(). This 
patch fix it by updating first/last mergeable segments size iff all the 
conditions of merging are meet.
