Bio pages may originate from slab caches that lack a usercopy region
(e.g. jbd2 frozen metadata buffers allocated via jbd2_alloc()).
When CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is enabled, copy_to_iter() calls
check_copy_size() which rejects these slab pages, triggering a
kernel BUG in usercopy_abort().
This is a false positive: the data is ordinary block I/O content —
the same data the loop driver writes to its backing file via
vfs_iter_write(). The bvec length is always trusted, so the size
check in check_copy_size() is not needed either.
Switch to _copy_to_iter()/_copy_from_iter() which skip the
check_copy_size() wrapper while the underlying copy_to_user()
remains unchanged.
