Umm...  That's not an equivalent transformation - different behaviour on
short copy; try to call it via read(fd, unmapped_buffer, 8) and see what
happens.

copy_to_iter() returns the amount copied; no data copied => return 0, not -EFAULT.

You do realize that get_unused_fd_flags() ignores O_RDWR (or O_NDELAY), right?
Mixing those with O_CLOEXEC makes sense for anon_inode_getfd(), but here you
have separate calls of get_unused_fd_flags() and anon_inode_getfile(), so...
