3.4.113-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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


commit 3ca8138f014a913f98e6ef40e939868e1e9ea876 upstream.

I got a report about unkillable task eating CPU. Further
investigation shows, that the problem is in the fuse_fill_write_pages()
function. If iov's first segment has zero length, we get an infinite
loop, because we never reach iov_iter_advance() call.

Fix this by calling iov_iter_advance() before repeating an attempt to
copy data from userspace.

A similar problem is described in 124d3b7041f ("fix writev regression:
pan hanging unkillable and un-straceable"). If zero-length segmend
is followed by segment with invalid address,
iov_iter_fault_in_readable() checks only first segment (zero-length),
iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic() skips it, fails at second and
returns zero -> goto again without skipping zero-length segment.

Patch calls iov_iter_advance() before goto again: we'll skip zero-length
segment at second iteraction and iov_iter_fault_in_readable() will detect
invalid address.

Special thanks to Konstantin Khlebnikov, who helped a lot with the commit
description.
