fix braino in generic_file_read_iter()
Wrong sign of iov_iter_revert() argument. Unfortunately, slipped through the testing, since most of the time we don't do anything to the iterator afterwards and potential oops on walking the iter->iov too far backwards is too infrequent to be easily triggered. Add a sanity check in iov_iter_revert() to catch bugs like this one; fortunately, the same braino hadn't happened in other callers, but we'd better have a warning if such thing crops up.
