[PATCH next] iov_iter: fix copy_page_from_iter_atomic()

Trying to test tmpfs on latest linux-next, copying and building kernel
trees, huge pages, and swapping while swapping off involved: lots of
cp: error writing '/tmp/2624/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt': Bad address
cp: error writing '/tmp/2624/arch/mips/math-emu/dp_fsp.c': Bad address
etc.

Bisection leads to next-20231006's 376fdc4552f1 ("iov_iter:
Don't deal with iter->copy_mc in memcpy_from_iter_mc()") from vfs.git.
The tweak below makes it healthy again: please feel free to fold in.
