I don't quite get why we add "seek" to "size". It seems this action does not
reflect the actual scenario and forcedly neutralizes the WARN_ONCE check in
bvec_iter_advance, so that it may "advance past end of bvec iter" and thus
introduces overflow.

Why don't we avoid this problem at the very begginning like my v1? That is, call
svc_flush_bvec only when we have received more than we want to seek.

        len = sock_recvmsg(svsk->sk_sock, &msg, MSG_DONTWAIT);
-       if (len > 0)
+       if (len > 0 && (size_t)len > (seek & PAGE_MASK))
                svc_flush_bvec(bvec, len, seek);
