Motivation and Context
Backport of #13377
Description
When using a Linux kernel which predates the iov_iter interface the
O_APPEND flag should be applied in zpl_aio_write() via the call to
generic_write_checks(). The updated pos variable was incorrectly
ignored resulting in the current offset being used.
This issue should only realistically impact the RHEL/CentOS 7.x
kernels which are based on Linux 3.10.
How Has This Been Tested?
