I don't know.  I feel stupid.  I think it's because the loop variable
changes between loop condition test and actual body of loop.  How
about the following?  It is pointing to the member of the same array
so I think it's not even violating pointer comparison rules.

	while (--bv >= bio->bi_io_vec)
		__free_page(bv->bv_page);
