[PATCH 04/11] iov_iter: explicitly check for CHECK_IOVEC_ONLY in rw_copy_check_uvector

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Date: 2020-09-21 14:35:57
Also in: io-uring, keyrings, linux-arch, linux-arm-kernel, linux-block, linux-fsdevel, linux-mips, linux-mm, linux-s390, linux-scsi, linuxppc-dev, lkml, netdev, sparclinux
Subsystem: library code, the rest, userspace copyin/copyout (uiovec) · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds, Alexander Viro

Explicitly check for the magic value insted of implicitly relying on
its numeric representation.   Also drop the rather pointless unlikely
annotation.
