Subject: [ 11/46] vfio-pci: Fix buffer overfill

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

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

From: Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@...hat.com>

commit ec1287e511320a2c9a02640b7ac02d5d79f56f08 upstream.

A read from a range hidden from the user (ex. MSI-X vector table)
attempts to fill the user buffer up to the end of the excluded range
instead of up to the requested count.  Fix it.
