[PATCH 002 of 2] Make sure readv stops reading when it hits end-of-file.

The do_loop_readv_writev implementation of readv breaks out of the
loop as soon as a single read request didn't fill it's buffer:
if (nr != len)
break;

The generic_file_aio_read version doesn't. So if it hits EOF
before the end of the list of buffers, it will try again on the next
buffer. If the file was extended in the mean time, this will
produce a bad result.
