For DAX, we want to be able to copy between iovecs and kernel addresses
that don't necessarily have a struct page. This is a fairly simple
rearrangement for bvec iters to kmap the pages outside and pass them in,
but for user iovecs it gets more complicated because we might try various
different ways to kmap the memory. Duplicating the existing logic works
out best in this case.
We need to be able to write zeroes to an iovec for reads from unwritten
ranges in a file. This is performed by the new iov_iter_zero() function,
again patterned after the existing code that handles iovec iterators.

The third argument of fuse_get_user_pages() "nbytesp" refers to the number of
bytes a caller asked to pack into fuse request. This value may be lesser
than capacity of fuse request or iov_iter. So fuse_get_user_pages() must
ensure that *nbytesp won't grow.
Now, when helper iov_iter_get_pages() performs all hard work of extracting
pages from iov_iter, it can be done by passing properly calculated
"maxsize" to the helper.
The other caller of iov_iter_get_pages() (dio_refill_pages()) doesn't need
this capability, so pass LONG_MAX as the maxsize argument here.

New variant of iov_iter - ITER_BVEC in iter->type, backed with
bio_vec array instead of iovec one. Primitives taught to deal
with such beasts, __swap_write() switched to using that kind
of iov_iter.
Note that bio_vec is just a <page, offset, length> triple - there's
nothing block-specific about it. I've left the definition where it
was, but took it from under ifdef CONFIG_BLOCK.
Next target: ->splice_write()...

if we'd ended up in the end of a segment, jump to the
beginning of the next one (iov_offset = 0, iov++),
rather than having the next primitive deal with that.
Ought to be folded back...

same as iov_iter_get_pages(), except that pages array is allocated
(kmalloc if possible, vmalloc if that fails) and left for caller to
free. Lustre and NFS ->direct_IO() switched to it.

iov_iter_get_pages(iter, pages, maxsize, &start) grabs references pinning
the pages of up to maxsize of (contiguous) data from iter. Returns the
amount of memory grabbed or -error. In case of success, the requested
area begins at offset start in pages[0] and runs through pages[1], etc.
Less than requested amount might be returned - either because the contiguous
area in the beginning of iterator is smaller than requested, or because
the kernel failed to pin that many pages.
direct-io.c switched to using iov_iter_get_pages()

For now, just use the same thing we pass to ->direct_IO() - it's all
iovec-based at the moment. Pass it explicitly to iov_iter_init() and
account for kvec vs. iovec in there, by the same kludge NFS ->direct_IO()
uses.

returns the value aligned as badly as the worst remaining segment
in iov_iter is. Use instead of open-coded equivalents.
