compat breakage in preadv() and pwritev()
Fix for a dumb preadv()/pwritev() compat bug - unlike the native variants, compat_... ones forget to check FMODE_P{READ,WRITE}, so e.g. on pipe the native preadv() will fail with -ESPIPE and compat one will act as readv() and succeed. Not critical, but it's a clear bug with trivial fix. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
