Subject: cifs: Fix cifs_limit_bvec_subset() to correctly check the maxmimum size
From: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4ef4aee67eed640064fff95a693c0184cedb7bec upstream.
Fix cifs_limit_bvec_subset() so that it limits the span to the maximum
specified and won't return with a size greater than max_size.
Fixes: d08089f649a0 ("cifs: Change the I/O paths to use an iterator rather than a page list")
