Hardy CVE-2010-4163: block: check for proper length of iov entries earlier in blk_rq_map_user_iov()
Implementation looks correct, only thing I would probably change is to take the
reference and description of the first patch and add a comment about the fixup
in the body...

CVE-2010-4163
commit 9284bcf checks for proper length of iov entries in
blk_rq_map_user_iov(). But if the map is unaligned, kernel
will break out the loop without checking for the proper length.
So we need to check the proper length before the unalign check.
