Subject: [34-longterm 205/209] block: check for proper length of iov entries earlier in blk_rq_map_user_iov()

From: Xiaotian Feng <dfeng@...hat.com>

  =====================================================================
  | This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. |
  | If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.|
  =====================================================================

commit 5478755616ae2ef1ce144dded589b62b2a50d575 upstream.

commit 9284bcf checks for proper length of iov entries in
blk_rq_map_user_iov(). But if the map is unaligned, kernel
will break out the loop without checking for the proper length.
So we need to check the proper length before the unalign check.
