iov_iter_revert() doesn't go well with iov_iter_truncate() in all
cases, see 2/2 for the bug description. As mentioned there the current
problems is because of generic_write_checks(), but there was also a
similar case fixed in 5.12, which should have been triggerable by normal
write(2)/read(2) and others.

It may be better to enforce reexpands as a long term solution, but for
now this patchset is quickier and easier to backport.

v2: don't fail if it was justly fully reverted
v3: use truncated size + reexapand based approach

Al, let's get this upstream. How do you want to handle it? I can take
it through the io_uring tree, or it can go through your tree. I really
don't care which route it takes, but we should get this upstream as
it solves a real problem.

Grabbed, will test and send a pull request...

Thanks Al! We should mark these for stable as well.
