There's another change here ... look at the out label

out:
        /* Undo iter limitation to current extent */
        iov_iter_reexpand(dio->submit.iter, orig_count - copied);
        if (copied)
                return copied;
        return ret;

so you're also changing by how much the iter is reexpanded.  I
don't know if it's the appropriate amount; I still don't quite get the
iov_iter complexities.
