blk_bio_segment_split() makes sure bios have no more than BIO_MAX_PAGES entries in the bi_io_vec. This was done because bio_clone_bioset() (when given a mempool bioset) could not handle larger io_vecs. No driver uses bio_clone_bioset() any more, they all use bio_clone_fast() if anything, and bio_clone_fast() doesn't clone the bi_io_vec. The main user of of bio_clone_bioset() at this level is bounce.c, and bouncing now happens before blk_bio_segment_split(), so that is not of concern. So remove the big helpful comment and the code.
