2.6.32-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

From: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
[ Upstream commit 01db403cf99f739f86903314a489fb420e0e254f ]
Fixes kernel bugzilla #16603
tcp_sendmsg() truncates iov_len to an 'int' which a 4GB write to write zero bytes, for example.
There is also the problem higher up of how verify_iovec() works. It wants to prevent the total length from looking like an error return value.
However it does this using 'int', but syscalls return 'long' (and thus signed 64-bit on 64-bit machines). So it could trigger false-positives on 64-bit as written. So fix it to use 'long'.
