[PATCH] netfs: Advance iterator correctly rather than jumping it

[PATCH] netfs: Advance iterator correctly rather than jumping it

[David Howells]

In netfs_write_folio(), use iov_iter_advance() to advance the folio as we
split bits of it off to subrequests rather than manually jumping the
->iov_offset value around.  This becomes more problematic when we use a
bounce buffer made out of single-page folios to cover a multipage pagecache
folio.
