block: fix SG_IO vector request data length handling
Impact: fix SG_IO behavior such that it matches the documentation SG_IO howto says that if ->dxfer_len and sum of iovec disagress, the shorter one wins. However, the current implementation returns -EINVAL for such cases. Trim iovc if it's longer than ->dxfer_len. This patch uses iov_*() helpers which take struct iovec * by casting struct sg_iovec * to it. sg_iovec is always identical to iovec and this will be further cleaned up with later patches.
