Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.13 055/114] iov_iter_advance(): use consistent semantics for move past the end

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

[ Upstream commit 3b3fc051cd2cba42bf736fa62780857d251a1236 ]

asking to advance by more than we have left in the iov_iter should
move to the very end; it should *not* leave negative i->count and
it should not spew into syslog, etc. - it's a legitimate operation.
