I think this might be ok for now (with a big comment).  Willy's original
iomap iter series replaced the iomap_begin and iomap_end with a single
next callback that takes the iomap_iter, which would solve this issue.
My plan is to look into a series that implements this and sees if this
is indeed a net win.
