There was previously MAX_ALIGNED_DEV_REQ_(UP|DOWN)SIZE macros which
evaluated to MAX_DEV_REQ_(UP|DOWN)SIZE+8. As it is unclear what this is
for, other than creating a situation where we accept more data than we
can parse, it is removed.

AV dislikes many parts of orangefs_devreq_writev. Besides making
orangefs_devreq_writev more easily readable and better commented,
this patch makes an effort to address some of the problems:
> The 5th is quietly ignored unless trailer_size is positive and
> status is zero. If trailer_size > 0 && status == 0, you verify that

It was just wrong to allow a 5th segment that is not exactly equal to
trailer_size. Now that that's fixed, there's nothing to zero out in
the vmalloced buffer - it is exactly the right size to hold the
5th segment.

Added size of 5th segment to writev return...

If 4th segment isn't exactly sizeof(struct pvfs2_downcall_s), whine and fail.

The latter is what userspace claimed was the length of the trailer data.
The kernel module now compares it to the trailer iovec's iov_len as a
sanity check.
> if there's no trailer, the 5th segment (if present) is completely ignored.
Whine and fail if there should be no trailer, yet a 5th segment is present.

> op->downcall) had been -ENOMEM and don't look at the 5th segment at all.
whine and fail with -ENOMEM.
