block: reject zero length in bio_add_page()

The function bio_add_page() returns the number of bytes added to the
bio, and if that failed it should return 0.

However there is a special quirk, if a caller is passing a page with
length 0, that function will always return 0 but with different results:

- The page is added to the bio
  If there is enough bvec slot or the folio can be merged with the last
  bvec.

  The return value 0 is just the length passed in, which is also 0.

- The page is not added to the bio
  If the page is not mergeable with the last bvec, or there is no bvec
  slot available.

  The return value 0 means page is not added into the bio.

Unfortunately the caller is not able to distinguish the above two cases,
and will treat the 0 return value as page addition failure.

In that case, this can lead to the double releasing of the last page:

- By the bio cleanup
  Which normally goes through every page of the bio, including the last
  page which is added into the bio.

- By the caller
  Which believes the page is not added into the bio, thus would manually
  release the page.

I do not think anyone should call bio_add_folio()/bio_add_page() with zero
length, but idiots like me can still show up.

So add an extra WARN_ON_ONCE() check for zero length and rejects it
early to avoid double freeing.
