Subject: [PATCH] target/file: Fix 32-bit highmem breakage for SGL -> iovec
 mapping

commit 40ff2c3b3da35dd3a00ac6722056a59b4b3f2caf upstream.

This patch changes vectored file I/O to use kmap + kunmap when mapping
incoming SGL memory -> struct iovec in order to properly support 32-bit
highmem configurations.  This is because an extra bounce buffer may be
required when processing scatterlist pages allocated with GFP_KERNEL.
