libceph: don't clear bio_iter in prepare_write_message()
At one time it was necessary to clear a message's bio_iter field to avoid a bad pointer dereference in write_partial_msg_pages(). That no longer seems to be the case. Here's why. The message's bio fields represent (in this case) outgoing data. Between where the bio_iter is made NULL in prepare_write_message() and the call in that function to prepare_message_data(), the bio fields are never used. In prepare_message_data(), init-bio_iter() is called, and the result of that overwrites the value in the message's bio_iter field. Because it gets overwritten anyway, there is no need to set it to NULL. So don't do it.
