sg_start_req(): make sure that there's not too many elements in iovec
commit 451a288 upstream. unfortunately, allowing an arbitrary 16bit value means a possibility of overflow in the calculation of total number of pages in bio_map_user_iov() - we rely on there being no more than PAGE_SIZE members of sum in the first loop there. If that sum wraps around, we end up allocating too small array of pointers to pages and it's easy to overflow it in the second loop.

This was fixed upstream by commit fdc81f4 ("sg_start_req(): use import_iovec()"), but we don't have that function.] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz>
