Subject: [PATCH 3.2 106/131] iovec: make sure the caller actually wants
 anything in  memcpy_fromiovecend

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

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

From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@...cle.com>

[ Upstream commit 06ebb06d49486676272a3c030bfeef4bd969a8e6 ]

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