Uhm, bvec_iter_advance() already skips over zero length bio_vecs.

        while (bytes && bytes >= bv[idx].bv_len) {
                bytes -= bv[idx].bv_len;
                idx++;
        }

The problem is when the _first_ bio_vec is zero length.  Maybe something more
like this (which doesn't even compile, but hopefully makes my point):

(I find the whole bvec handling a mess of confusing macros and would
welcome more of it being inline functions, in general).
