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

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

From: Leon Yu <chianglungyu at gmail.com>

commit 754320d6e166d3a12cb4810a452bde00afbd4e9a upstream.

iovec should be reclaimed whenever caller of rw_copy_check_uvector() returns,
but it doesn't hold when failure happens right after aio_setup_vectored_rw().

Fix that in a such way to avoid hairy goto.
