block/mirror: limit qiov to IOV_MAX elements

If mirror has more free buffers than IOV_MAX, preadv(2)/pwritev(2)
EINVAL failures may be encountered.

It is possible to trigger this by setting granularity to a low value
like 8192.

This patch stops appending chunks once IOV_MAX is reached.

The spurious EINVAL failure can be reproduced with a qcow2 image file
and the following QMP invocation:

  qmp.command('drive-mirror', device='virtio0', target='/tmp/r7.s1',
              granularity=8192, sync='full', mode='absolute-paths',
              format='raw')

While the guest is running dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/tmp/foo oflag=direct
bs=4k.
