blkdev_read_iter() wants to cap the iov_iter by the amount of data
remaining to the end of device. That's what iov_iter_truncate() is for
(trim iter->count if it's above the given limit). So far, so good, but
the argument of iov_iter_truncate() is size_t, so on 32bit boxen (in
case of a large device) we end up with that upper limit truncated down
to 32 bits *before* comparing it with iter->count.
Easily fixed by making iov_iter_truncate() take 64bit argument - it does
the right thing after such change (we only reach the assignment in there
when the current value of iter->count is greater than the limit, i.e.
for anything that would get truncated we don't reach the assignment at
all) and that argument is not the new value of iter->count - it's an
upper limit for such.
The overhead of passing u64 is not an issue - the thing is inlined, so
callers passing size_t won't pay any penalty.
