Kernel: Refuse excessively long iovec list, also in readv

This bug is a good example why copy-paste code should eventually be eliminated
from the code base: Apparently the code was copied from read.cpp before
c6027ed7cce901dc0d2b6f68002a911178ae587f, so the same bug got introduced here.

To recap: A malicious program can ask the Kernel to prepare sys-ing to
a huge amount of iovecs. The Kernel must first copy all the vector locations
into 'vecs', and before that allocates an arbitrary amount of memory:
    vecs.resize(iov_count);
This can cause Kernel memory exhaustion, triggered by any malicious userland
program.
