4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Ming Lei <[email protected]> commit e0af29171aa8912e1ca95023b75ef336cd70d661 upstream. In the following patch, the way for figuring out the last bvec will be changed with a bit cost introduced, so return immediately if the queue doesn't have virt boundary limit. Actually most of devices have not this limit.
