[PATCH 3.4 09/23] iovec: make sure the caller actually wants anything in memcpy_fromiovecend

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 06ebb06d49486676272a3c030bfeef4bd969a8e6 ]

Check for cases when the caller requests 0 bytes instead of running off
and dereferencing potentially invalid iovecs.
