Subject[PATCH v2] iov_iter: Fix 9p virtio breakage
Date
When switching to the new iovec accessors, a negation got subtly
dropped, leading to 9p being remarkably broken (here with kvmtool):

[ 7.430941] VFS: Mounted root (9p filesystem) on device 0:15.

Restoring the missing "!" brings the guest back to life.
