Subject: block: fix segment split
From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com>
commit 578270bfbd2803dc7b0b03fbc2ac119efbc73195 upstream.
Inside blk_bio_segment_split(), previous bvec pointer(bvprvp)
always points to the iterator local variable, which is obviously
wrong, so fix it by pointing to the local variable of 'bvprv'.
Fixes: 5014c311baa2b(block: fix bogus compiler warnings in blk-merge.c)
