4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org>
commit a0ac402cfcdc904f9772e1762b3fda112dcc56a0 upstream.
In theory we could map other things, but there's a reason that function
is called "user_iov". Using anything else (like splice can do) just
confuses it.
