block: Fix start and length check added to iov_iter_extract_bvecs()
Commit 14b007e17881 added an address check using iter_iov_addr() and a
length check using iter_iov_len() to iov_iter_extract_bvecs(), but these
cannot be used so and are unsafe in this circumstance as the functions have
hardwired assumptions about the iterator type. They should only be used
with ITER_UBUF or ITER_IOVEC-type iterators; they shouldn't be used with
ITER_BVEC, ITER_KVEC, ITER_FOLIOQ, ITER_XARRAY or ITER_DISCARD iterators.
This proves to be a problem for cachefiles as an iterator of type
ITER_FOLIOQ is passed and iter_iov_addr() and iter_iov_len() both
malfunction because iter->__iov in iter_iov() is not pointing to an iovec
array.
Fix this by using iov_iter_alignment() instead.
