tun: fix tun_chr_aio_write so that aio works
aio_write gets const struct iovec * but tun_chr_aio_write casts this to struct iovec * and modifies the iovec. As a result, attempts to use io_submit to send packets to a tun device fail with weird errors such as EINVAL. Since tun is the only user of skb_copy_datagram_from_iovec, we can fix this simply by changing the later so that it does not touch the iovec passed to it. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
