Subject: [v2.6.34-stable 197/213] vfs: missed source of ->f_pos races

From: Al Viro <viro@...IV.linux.org.uk>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git

commit 0e665d5d1125f9f4ccff56a75e814f10f88861a2 upstream.

compat_sys_{read,write}v() need the same "pass a copy of file->f_pos" thing
as sys_{read,write}{,v}().
