Subject: [PATCH v3] iov_iter: don't revert iov buffer if csum error

The patch 327868212381 (make skb_copy_datagram_msg() et.al. preserve
->msg_iter on error) will revert the iov buffer if copy to iter
failed, but it didn't copy any datagram if the skb_checksum_complete
error, so no need to revert any data at this place.

v2: Sabrina notice that return -EFAULT when checksum error is not correct
    here, it would confuse the caller about the return value, so fix it.

v3: According AI's suggestion, directly return -EINVAL when __skb_checksum_complete()
    return error is a more simple solution.

Fixes: 327868212381 ("make skb_copy_datagram_msg() et.al. preserve->msg_iter on error")
