PATCH 1/2 fs: remove duplicated iovec checking code v8

Where are several places where the same code used for iovec checks. This patch just move this code to separate helper function, and replace duplicated code with it. IMHO it is better because these are checks that we want for all filesystems/drivers that use vectored I/O.

Where are several places where the same code used for iovec checks. This patch just move this code to separate helper function, and replace duplicated code with it. IMHO it is better because these are checks that we want for all filesystems/drivers that use vectored I/O.

Please move this into the common code path, so it's checked before entering the filesystem. This won't cover the calculating count until we have an iodesc/uio strcuture to pass it down, so feel free to add a tiny helper for that temporaily.
