Subject[PATCH] splice: fix user pointer access in get_iovec_page_array()
From: Bastian Blank <bastian@waldi.eu.org>

The commit 8811930dc74a503415b35c4a79d14fb0b408a361 ("splice: missing user
pointer access verification") added access_ok() to copy_from_user_mmap_sem()
which only ensures we can copy the struct iovecs from userspace to the kernel
but we also must check whether we can access the actual memory region pointed
to by the struct iovec to close the local root exploit.

Bastian, can I have your Signed-off-by for this, please? Oliver, Niki, can
you please confirm this closes the hole?
