[16/90] net: Cap number of elements for sendmmsg

[Greg KH]

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 98382f419f32d2c12d021943b87dea555677144b upstream.

To limit the amount of time we can spend in sendmmsg, cap the
number of elements to UIO_MAXIOV (currently 1024).

For error handling an application using sendmmsg needs to retry at
the first unsent message, so capping is simpler and requires less
application logic than returning EINVAL.
