Commit "block: Fix WARNING in _copy_from_iter" is insufficient to make SG_IO ioctl with a transfer direction of SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV work; the passed in iterator should be advanced after bio_copy_from_iter(). Otherwise its caller, blk_rq_map_user_iov(), will return -EINVAL due to a wrong loop condition. Instead of using a copy of the passed iterator, save iter->data_source and restore it after bio_copy_from_iter().
