	Fix for a dumb preadv()/pwritev() compat bug - unlike the native
variants, compat_... ones forget to check FMODE_P{READ,WRITE}, so e.g.
on pipe the native preadv() will fail with -ESPIPE and compat one will
act as readv() and succeed.  Not critical, but it's a clear bug with trivial
fix, so IMO it's OK for -final.
