iov_iter: move into its own file

This moves the iov_iter functions in to their own file.  We're going to
be working on them in upcoming patches.  They become sufficiently large,
and remain self-contained, to justify seperating them from the rest of
the huge mm/filemap.c.

iov_iter: iov_iter_copy_from_user() should use non-atomic copy

iov_iter: add copy_to_user support

This adds iov_iter wrappers around copy_to_user() to match the existing
wrappers around copy_from_user().

This will be used by the generic file system buffered read path.

fuse: convert fuse to use iov_iter_copy_[to|from]_user

iov_iter: hide iovec details behind ops function pointers

This moves the current iov_iter functions behind an ops struct of
function pointers.  The current iov_iter functions all work with memory
which is specified by iovec arrays of user space pointers.

This patch is part of a series that lets us specify memory with bio_vec
arrays of page pointers.  By moving to an iov_iter operation struct we
can add that support in later patches in this series by adding another
set of function pointers.

I only came to this after having initialy tried to teach the current
iov_iter functions about bio_vecs by introducing conditional branches
that dealt with bio_vecs in all the functions.  It wasn't pretty.  This
approach seems to be the lesser evil.

iov_iter: add bvec support

This adds a set of iov_iter_ops calls which work with memory which is
specified by an array of bio_vec structs instead of an array of iovec
structs.

The big difference is that the pages referenced by the bio_vec elements
are pinned.  They don't need to be faulted in and we can always use
kmap_atomic() to map them one at a time.

iov_iter: add a shorten call

The generic direct write path wants to shorten its memory vector.  It
does this when it finds that it has to perform a partial write due to
LIMIT_FSIZE.  .direct_IO() always performs IO on all of the referenced
memory because it doesn't have an argument to specify the length of the
IO.

We add an iov_iter operation for this so that the generic path can ask
to shorten the memory vector without having to know what kind it is.
We're happy to shorten the kernel copy of the iovec array, but we refuse
to shorten the bio_vec array and return an error in this case.

dio: Convert direct_IO to use iov_iter

Change the direct_IO aop to take an iov_iter argument rather than an iovec.
This will get passed down through most filesystems so that only the
__blockdev_direct_IO helper need be aware of whether user or kernel memory
is being passed to the function.

dio: add bio_vec support to __blockdev_direct_IO()

The trick here is to initialize the dio state so that do_direct_IO()
consumes the pages we provide and never tries to map user pages.  This
is done by making sure that final_block_in_request covers the page that
we set in the dio.  do_direct_IO() will return before running out of
pages.

The caller is responsible for dirtying these pages, if needed.  We add
an option to the dio struct that makes sure we only dirty pages when
we're operating on iovecs of user addresses.

iov_iter: let callers extract iovecs and bio_vecs

direct IO treats memory from user iovecs and memory from arrays of
kernel pages very differently.  User memory is pinned and worked with in
batches while kernel pages are always pinned and don't require
additional processing.

Rather than try and provide an abstraction that includes these
different behaviours we let direct IO extract the memory structs and
hand them to the existing code.

fs: pull iov_iter use higher up the stack

Right now only callers of generic_perform_write() pack their iovec
arguments into an iov_iter structure.  All the callers higher up in the
stack work on raw iovec arguments.

This patch introduces the use of the iov_iter abstraction higher up the
stack.  Private generic path functions are changed to operation on
iov_iter instead of on raw iovecs.  Exported interfaces that take iovecs
immediately pack their arguments into an iov_iter and call into the
shared functions.

File operation struct functions are added with iov_iter as an argument
so that callers to the generic file system functions can specify
abstract memory rather than iovec arrays only.

Almost all of this patch only transforms arguments and shouldn't change
functionality.  The buffered read path is the exception.  We add a
read_actor function which uses the iov_iter helper functions instead of
operating on each individual iovec element.  This may improve
performance as the iov_iter helper can copy multiple iovec elements from
one mapped page cache page.

As always, the direct IO path is special.  Sadly, it may still be
cleanest to have it work on the underlying memory structures directly
instead of working through the iov_iter abstraction.
