This looks odd to me. The usual way to handle iterating the entire
submitter controlled data is to just iterate over the bvec array, as
done by bio_for_each_segment_all/bio_for_each_bvec_all for the bio
data. I think you want to do the same here, probably with a
similar bip_for_each_bvec_all or similar helper. That way you don't
need to stash away the iter. Currently we have the field for that,
but I really want to split up struct bio_integrity_payload into
what is actually needed for the payload and stuff only needed for
the block layer autogenerated PI (bip_bio/bio_iter/bip_work).
