[PATCH] DIO pages-in-io accounting fix

I found one more accounting inconsistency with dio_pages_in_io.  This is a
day-one bug and I started hitting it on latest -mm due to the recent
changes to dio_pages_in_io calculations to be exact.

If the file is badly fragmented (no contiguous blocks at all), and the user
buffer is not page aligned - we need to create IO for each disk block with
2 pages.  (bio with 2 vecs).

dio_bio_add_page() should not decrement dio_pages_in_io for every add page.
 It should only decrement, it only if its done with that page and moving on
to next page.  (since dio_pages_in_io represent how many actual pages we
are operating on).

Here is the patch to fix this accounting.  Without this patch, we will hit
BUG() in dio_new_bio() with O_DIRECT on filesystems.
