[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 06/12] iov_iter_get_pages{,_alloc}(): cap the maxsize with MAX_RW_COUNT

[ Upstream commit 7392ed1734c319150b5ddec3f192a6405728e8d0 ]

All callers can and should handle iov_iter_get_pages() returning
fewer pages than requested. All in-kernel ones do. And it makes
the arithmetical overflow analysis much simpler...
