Merge tag 'vfs-6.8-release.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:

 - Get rid of copy_mc flag in iov_iter which really only makes sense for
   the core dumping code so move it out of the generic iov iter code and
   make it coredump's problem. See the detailed commit description.

 - Revert fs/aio: Make io_cancel() generate completions again

   The initial fix here was predicated on the assumption that calling
   ki_cancel() didn't complete aio requests. However, that turned out to
   be wrong since the two drivers that actually make use of this set a
   cancellation function that performs the cancellation correctly. So
   revert this change.

 - Ensure that the test for IOCB_AIO_RW always happens before the read
   from ki_ctx.
