... just use copy_from_user().  We copy only SZ_SG_IO_HDR bytes, so that
would, strictly speaking, loosen the check.  However, for call chains via
->write() the caller has actually checked the entire range and SG_IO passes
exactly SZ_SG_IO_HDR for count.  So no visible behaviour changes happen if
we check only what we really need for copyin.
