Subject: [PATCH 1/4] block: bio: introduce helpers to get the 1st and last bvec

After bio splitting is introduced, the splitted bio can
be fast-cloned, which is correct because biovecs has become
immutable since v3.13.

Unfortunately bio_will_gap() isn't ready for this kind of change,
because it figures out the last bvec via 'bi_io_vec[prev->bi_vcnt - 1]'.

This patch introduces two helpers for getting the first and last
bvec of one bio.
