7.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit b0d8d56b7c93ed767eb4f2be9988e7b9dc023566 ]

Commit 14b007e17881 added an address check using iter_iov_addr() and a
length check using iter_iov_len() to iov_iter_extract_bvecs(), but these
cannot be used so and are unsafe in this circumstance as the functions have
hardwired assumptions about the iterator type.  They should only be used
with ITER_UBUF or ITER_IOVEC-type iterators; they shouldn't be used with
ITER_BVEC, ITER_KVEC, ITER_FOLIOQ, ITER_XARRAY or ITER_DISCARD iterators.

This proves to be a problem for cachefiles as an iterator of type
ITER_FOLIOQ is passed and iter_iov_addr() and iter_iov_len() both
malfunction because iter->__iov in iter_iov() is not pointing to an iovec
array.

Fix this by using iov_iter_alignment() instead.
