Now that the block layer will honor max_transfer, we can simplify
our code to rely on that guarantee.
The readv code can call directly into nbd-client, just as the
writev code has done since commit 52a4650.
Interestingly enough, while qemu-io 'w 0 40m' splits into a 32M
and 8M transaction, 'w -z 0 40m' splits into two 16M and an 8M,
because the block layer caps the bounce buffer for writing zeroes
at 16M. When we later introduce support for NBD_CMD_WRITE_ZEROES,
we can get a full 32M zero write (or larger, if the client and
server negotiate that write zeroes can use a larger size than
ordinary writes).
