[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 01/70] [stable-only] AIO: properly check iovec sizes

[Kamal Mostafa]

v3.19.8-ckt17 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh at linuxfoundation.org>

In Linus's tree, the iovec code has been reworked massively, but in
older kernels the AIO layer should be checking this before passing the
request on to other layers.

Many thanks to Ben Hawkes of Google Project Zero for pointing out the
issue.
