Virtualization - Feb 2015 - [PATCH net] vhost_net: fix wrong iter offset when setting number of buffers

In commit ba7438aed924 ("vhost: don't bother copying iovecs in
handle_rx(), kill memcpy_toiovecend()"), we advance iov iter fixup
sizeof(struct virtio_net_hdr) bytes and fill the number of buffers
after doing the socket recvmsg(). This work well but was broken after
commit 6e03f896b52c ("Merge
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net") which tries
to advance sizeof(struct virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf). It will fill the
number of buffers at the wrong place. This patch fixes this.

I was wondering if I got that merge conflict right. :-/

Applied, thanks Jason.
