[PATCH 1/4] dm: remove nr_iovecs parameter from alloc_tio()

[Junichi Nomura <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com>]

alloc_tio() allocates a bio for clone. It takes the number of
bvecs to allocate for the clone-bio.
However, with the introduction of bio_clone_fast() in v3.14,
we no longer need to allocate bvecs and nr_iovecs is always 0.

__clone_and_map_simple_bio() looks like passing non-zero
nr_iovecs, but its value is always within the range of
inline bvecs and no allocation actually happens.
If allocation happened, BUG_ON() in __bio_clone_fast() would
trigger.

This patch removes the nr_iovecs parameter from alloc_tio()
to prevent possible future mis-use of the interface.
