If the last bvec of the 1st bio and the 1st bvec of the next
bio are physically contigious, and the latter can be merged
to last segment of the 1st bio, we should think they don't
violate sg gap(or virt boundary) limit.

Both Vitaly and Dexuan reported lots of unmergeable small bios
are observed when running mkfs on Hyper-V virtual storage, and
performance becomes quite low. This patch fixes that performance
issue.

The same issue should exist on NVMe, since it sets virt boundary too.

Good test results, it's a clean cherry pick from upstream that has been
around for a few months and hence given some testing upstream.
