Last September a fix was checked in for a memory leak problem in
bounce_end_io causing the entire bio to be checked. This ended up
causing some dm cloned bios that had bounce buffers to free NULL pages
because their bi_idx can be non-zero. This patch skips NULL pages in
the bio's bio_vec. I'm not sure if this is the most optimal fix but I
think that it is safe since bvec_alloc memsets the bio_vec to zero.
