Geeze, that function is really hard to understand.  The poor
documentation for nilfs_argv.v_index is hurting here.

Why doesn't this patch do

        if (argv->v_index >= argv->v_nmembs)
                return -EINVAL;

?

That's what one would *expect* to see, so something weird must be going
on?
