For some reason I missed import_single_range(), which does it the same
way as import_ubuf() currently does - cap the range before the
access_ok() check. The vec variants sum as they go, but access_ok()
before the range.

I think part of the issue here is that the single range imports return 0
for success and -ERROR otherwise. This means that the caller does not
know if the full range was imported or not. OTOH, we always cap any data
transfer at MAX_RW_COUNT, so may make more sense to fix up the caller
here.
