Subject: [PATCH v3 4/7] target/file: allocate the bvec array as part of struct target_core_file_cmd

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@....de>

This saves one memory allocation, and ensures the bvecs aren't freed
before the AIO completion.  This will allow the lower level code to be
optimized so that it can avoid allocating another bvec array.
