Subject: [PATCH] cifs: Fix cifs_limit_bvec_subset() to correctly check the maxmimum size

Fix cifs_limit_bvec_subset() so that it limits the span to the maximum
specified and won't return with a size greater than max_size.

Fixes: d08089f649a0 ("cifs: Change the I/O paths to use an iterator rather than a page list")

Shouldn't this decrement happen below, after the span has been
compared with max_size?

It probably doesn't matter. The compiler is free to move it around, but yes
that and ix++ can both be moved down.

I am not sure I follow - can you explain? It looks like moving it up
vs. down would change behavior
