Attached is a patch made against the scsi maintainer's tree (I think it 
should also apply to linus's) that converts iscsi to use skb_copy_bits. 
It is lightly tested. If there is no benefit in having skb_find_text use 
skb_seq_read maybe we can just kill it, so people do not have to 
maintain two helpers that provide similar functionality.

There is a bug in this patch, but it just makes it a little less 
efficient. It should not screw up testing to verify that the oops is fixed.

Regardless of what we decide to do with iSCSI we have to make this
function work properly as long as there is a user in the tree.

This iterator can in fact be more efficient than using copy
bits since copy bits doesn't remember any state from previous
invocations whereas the iterator does.  So if you call it
multiple times on the same SKB that's a lot of wasted work.

In fact I'm pretty sure that's why we added it for textsearch,
because in that application we're constantly beating through
the same SKB via the testsearch state machine.

Therefore, keeping it's use for iSCSI would be beneficial.
