block: ensure that bio_add_page() always accepts a page for an empty bio

With commit 762380ad93 added support for chunk sizes and no merging
across them, it broke the rule of always allowing adding of a single
page to an empty bio. So relax the restriction a bit to allow for that,
similarly to what we have always done.

This fixes a crash with mkfs.xfs and 512b sector sizes on NVMe.

* If a driver doesn't want IOs to cross a given chunk size, it can set
* this limit and prevent merging across chunks. Note that the chunk size
* must currently be a power-of-2 in sectors.
