Badari Pulavarty b0cfbd995d [PATCH] fix for generic_file_write iov problem ...

Here is the fix for the problem described in

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4721

Basically, problem is generic_file_buffered_write() is accessing beyond end
of the iov[] vector after handling the last vector.  If we happen to cross
page boundary, we get a fault.

I think this simple patch is good enough.  If we really don't want to
depend on the "count", then we need pass nr_segs to
filemap_set_next_iovec() and decrement it and check it.
