econet: fix CVE-2010-3848

commit a27e13d370415add3487949c60810e36069a23a6 upstream.

Don't declare variable sized array of iovecs on the stack since this
could cause stack overflow if msg->msgiovlen is large.  Instead, coalesce
the user-supplied data into a new buffer and use a single iovec for it.
