[PATCH 08/17] netfs: Add a function to extract a UBUF or IOVEC into a BVEC iterator

[David Howells]

Add a function to extract the pages from a user-space supplied iterator
(UBUF- or IOVEC-type) into a BVEC-type iterator, retaining the pages by
getting a pin on them (as FOLL_PIN) as we go.

This is useful in three situations:

 (1) A userspace thread may have a sibling that unmaps or remaps the
     process's VM during the operation, changing the assignment of the
     pages and potentially causing an error.  Retaining the pages keeps
     some pages around, even if this occurs; futher, we find out at the
     point of extraction if EFAULT is going to be incurred.

 (2) Pages might get swapped out/discarded if not retained, so we want to
     retain them to avoid the reload causing a deadlock due to a DIO
     from/to an mmapped region on the same file.

 (3) The iterator may get passed to sendmsg() by the filesystem.  If a
     fault occurs, we may get a short write to a TCP stream that's then
     tricky to recover from.

We don't deal with other types of iterator here, leaving it to other
mechanisms to retain the pages (eg. PG_locked, PG_writeback and the pipe
lock).
