iov_iter_extract_pages() doesn't correctly handle skipping over initial
zero-length entries in ITER_KVEC and ITER_BVEC-type iterators.
The problem is that it accidentally reduces maxsize to 0 when it
skipping and thus runs to the end of the array and returns 0.
Fix this by sticking the calculated size-to-copy in a new variable
rather than back in maxsize.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
