Subject: [PATCH] block/io: accept NULL qiov in bdrv_pad_request

Some operations, e.g. block-stream, perform reads while discarding the
results (only copy-on-read matters). In this case they will pass NULL as
the target QEMUIOVector, which will however trip bdrv_pad_request, since
it wants to extend its passed vector.

If there is no qiov, no operation can be done with it, but the bytes
and offset still need to be updated, so the subsequent aligned read
will actually be aligned and not run into an assertion failure.

[FE: do update bytes and offset in any case]
