commit 3342ff2698 upstream.
Al root-caused a new warning from syzbot to the ttyprintk tty driver
returning a write count larger than the data the tty layer actually gave
it. Which confused the tty write code mightily, and with the new
iov_iter based code, caused a WARNING in iov_iter_revert().
syzbot correctly bisected the source of the new warning to commit
9bb48c82ac ("tty: implement write_iter"), but the oddity goes back
much further, it just didn't get caught by anything before.
