Subject: bio_copy_user_iov(): don't ignore ->iov_offset

From: Al Viro <[email protected]>

commit 1cfd0ddd82232804e03f3023f6a58b50dfef0574 upstream.

Since "block: support large requests in blk_rq_map_user_iov" we started to call it with partially drained iter; that works fine on the write side, but reads create a copy of iter for completion time. And that needs to take the possibility of ->iov_iter != 0 into account...
