* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/kernel-features.h: Define

	__ASSUME_COMPLETE_READV_WRITEV.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/readv.c: No need for userlevel fallback
	with modern kernels.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/writev.c: Likewise.

	* sysdeps/posix/readv.c: Since read is a cancellation point we have
	to free a possible malloced buffer in case of cancellation.
	* sysdeps/posix/writev.c: Likewise for write.
