Fix off-by-one error in iov_iter_advance()
commit 94ad374a0751f40d25e22e036c37f7263569d24c upstream
The iov_iter_advance() function would look at the iov->iov_len entry
even though it might have iterated over the whole array, and iov was
pointing past the end. This would cause DEBUG_PAGEALLOC to trigger a
kernel page fault if the allocation was at the end of a page, and the
next page was unallocated.
The quick fix is to just change the order of the tests: check that there
is any iovec data left before we check the iov entry itself.
Thanks to Alexey Dobriyan for finding this case, and testing the fix.
