Without this length argument, we can read past the end of the iovec in
memcpy_toiovec because we have no way of knowing the total length of the
iovec's buffers.

This is needed for stable kernels where 89c22d8c3b27 ("net: Fix skb
csum races when peeking") has been backported but that don't have the
ioviter conversion, which is almost all the stable trees <= 3.18.

This also fixes a kernel crash for NFS servers when the client uses
 -onfsvers=3,proto=udp to mount the export.

Do you have this in your queue? I saw a few other stables pick this
up, but haven't seen it in 3.14 or 3.18 yet. It wasn't clear to me if
this had been fully reviewed yet.

I rely on Dave to package up networking stable patches and forward them
on to me, that's why you haven't seen it be picked up yet.

thanks,
