Subject: [PATCH 3/4] block: mark 1st parameter of bvec_iter_advance as const

bvec_iter_advance() only writes to the parameter of 'iter',
so address of 'bvec' can be marked as const safely.

Without the change, we can trigger compiling warning in the
following patch for implementing iterate_bvec(): lib/iov_iter.c
with bvec iterator.
