Subject: [PATCH net] Fix a potential infinite loop in extract_user_to_sg()

    
Fix extract_user_to_sg() so that it will break out of the loop if
iov_iter_extract_pages() returns 0 rather than looping around forever.

[Note that I've included two fixes lines as the function got moved to a
different file and renamed]

Fixes: 85dd2c8ff368 ("netfs: Add a function to extract a UBUF or IOVEC into a BVEC iterator")
Fixes: f5f82cd18732 ("Move netfs_extract_iter_to_sg() to lib/scatterlist.c")
