[PATCH 3.11 136/137] iovec: make sure the caller actually wants anything in memcpy_fromiovecend

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

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

From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin at oracle.com>

commit 06ebb06d49486676272a3c030bfeef4bd969a8e6 upstream.

Check for cases when the caller requests 0 bytes instead of running off
and dereferencing potentially invalid iovecs.
