[PATCH v4 6/8] iomap: Support restarting direct I/O requests after user copy failures

[Andreas Gruenbacher]

In iomap_dio_rw, when iomap_apply returns an -EFAULT error, complete the
request synchronously.  Either return a partial result (when the
IOMAP_DIO_FAULT_RETRY flag is set and the caller is thus prepared to handle
partial results), or reset the iterator to the start to allow a restart.
