That can still be a #define and still use min().
The important thing is to assign the result of __bvec_iter_bvec() to
a local variable.

So maybe something like:
#define mp_bvec_iter_len(bvec, iter) ({ \
	__auto_type _remains = __bvec_iter_bvec((bvec), \
		(iter))->bv_len - (iter).bi_bvec_done); \
	min((iter).bi_size, _remains); \
})

Bloat is always going to happen if you pass one complex #define to another.
