This causes a regression (existed in previous version too).
System freeze on issuing single read/write io that used to work fine 
earlier:
fio -iodepth=1 -rw=randread -ioengine=io_uring_cmd -cmd_type=nvme 
-bs=4096 -numjobs=1 -size=4096 -filename=/dev/ng0n1 -md_per_io_size=8 
-name=pt

This is because we pin one bvec during submission, but unpin 4 on 
completion. bio_integrity_unpin_bvec() uses bip->bip_max_vcnt, which is 
set to 4 (equal to BIO_INLINE_VECS) in this case.

To use bip_max_vcnt the way this series uses, we need below patch/fix:

-               bip->bip_max_vcnt = inline_vecs;
         }

         bip->bip_bio = bio;
