block: fix bio_add_page for non trivial merge_bvec_fn case
We have to properly decrease bi_size in order to merge_bvec_fn return right result. Otherwise this result in false merge rejects for two absolutely valid bio_vecs. This may cause significant performance penalty for example fs_block_size == 1k and block device is raid0 with small chunk_size = 8k. Then it is impossible to merge 7-th fs-block in to bio which already has 6 fs-blocks.
