[PATCH 1/3] tun: Modify const aio_read iovec per do_sock_read

[Herbert Xu]

I started working on this patch after discovering the horror of
skb_copy_datagram_iovec and skb_copy_datagram_const_iovec.  It's
ridiculous to have two versions of the same thing.  Especially when
the reason they exist is because of a stupid disagreement between
fs and net on how we should itereate over iovecs.

To reiterate, fs wants to keep the iovecs themselves constant and
use iterators to keep state while net is used to keeping the state
within the iovecs.

Without judging the merits of either approach, we should stick to
one of them.  And regardless of which one we end up picking, we
can always kill skb_copy_datagram_const_iovec which is plain wrong
as it starts from the very beginning of the iovec every single time.

This patch uses the do_sock_read approach of casting the const away
for the time being.  If we end up going the other way we can trivially
convert this over to using iterators.  In the mean time this would at
least allow us to kill skb_copy_datagram_const_iovec.
