Revert "[PATCH] generic_file_buffered_write(): handle zero-length iovec segments"

This reverts commit 81b0c8713385ce1b1b9058e916edcf9561ad76d6, which was
a bugfix against 6527c2bdf1f833cc18e8f42bd97973d583e4aa83 ("[PATCH]
generic_file_buffered_write(): deadlock on vectored write"), which we
also revert.
