I'd prefer not to support zero-length ITER_BVEC and catching them
early, as the block layer can't deal with them either.  From a quick
look at iter_file_splice_write it should be pretty trivial to fix there,
although we'll need to audit other callers as well (even if I don't
expect them to submit this degenerate case).
