    sg_start_req(): make sure that there's not too many elements in iovec · 07213eed

    unfortunately, allowing an arbitrary 16bit value means a possibility of
    overflow in the calculation of total number of pages in bio_map_user_iov() -
    we rely on there being no more than PAGE_SIZE members of sum in the
    first loop there.  If that sum wraps around, we end up allocating
    too small array of pointers to pages and it's easy to overflow it in
    the second loop.

    [bwh: s/MAX_UIOVEC/UIO_MAXIOV/. This was fixed upstream by commit
     fdc81f45 ("sg_start_req(): use import_iovec()"), but we don't have
     that function.]
