[PATCH] readv/writev syscalls are not checked by lsm

it seems that readv(2)/writev(2) syscalls do not call
file_permission callback. Looks like this is overlook.

I have filled the issue into redhat bugzilla as
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=169433
and got the recommendation to post this on lsm mailing list.

The following trivial patch solves the problem.
