[PATCH] mm/filemap.c: fix criteria of calling iov_shorten() in generic_file_direct_write()

[Gu Zheng]

generic_file_direct_write() compares 'count'(the max count we actually can write)
with 'ocount'(the count we request to write) to see if there is need to call
iov_shorten() to reduce number of segments and the iovec's length. If the
'count' is equal or greater than 'ocount', there is no need to call iov_shorten()
indeed. So the judgement should be changed:
'if (count != ocount)' --> 'if (count < ocount)'
