Subject: [PATCH 4.16 036/113] cifs: smbd: Avoid allocating iov on the stack

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

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

From: Long Li <longli@...rosoft.com>

commit 8bcda1d2a79da4ab84162574eee2c9f6e1a12a03 upstream.

It's not necessary to allocate another iov when going through the buffers
in smbd_send() through RDMA send.

Remove it to reduce stack size.

Thanks to Matt for spotting a printk typo in the earlier version of this.
