iov_iter: Add a function to extract a page list from an iterator

Add a function, iov_iter_extract_pages(), to extract a list of pages from
an iterator.  The pages may be returned with a pin added or nothing,
depending on the type of iterator.

Add a second function, iov_iter_extract_will_pin(), to determine how the
cleanup should be done.

There are two cases:

 (1) ITER_IOVEC or ITER_UBUF iterator.

     Extracted pages will have pins (FOLL_PIN) obtained on them so that a
     concurrent fork() will forcibly copy the page so that DMA is done
     to/from the parent's buffer and is unavailable to/unaffected by the
     child process.

     iov_iter_extract_will_pin() will return true for this case.  The
     caller should use something like unpin_user_page() to dispose of the
     page.

 (2) Any other sort of iterator.

     No refs or pins are obtained on the page, the assumption is made that
     the caller will manage page retention.

     iov_iter_extract_will_pin() will return false.  The pages don't need
     additional disposal.

+ * The iov_iter_extract_will_pin() function can be used to query how cleanup
+ * should be performed.
+ *
+ * Extra refs or pins on the pages may be obtained as follows:
+ *
+ *  (*) If the iterator is user-backed (ITER_IOVEC/ITER_UBUF), pins will be
+ *      added to the pages, but refs will not be taken.

+ *  (*) If the iterator is ITER_KVEC, ITER_BVEC or ITER_XARRAY, the pages are

+ *      iov_iter_extract_will_pin() will return 0.
+ *
+ * Note also:
+ *
+ *  (*) Use with ITER_DISCARD is not supported as that has no content.
+ *
+ * On success, the function sets *@pages to the new pagelist, if allocated, and
+ * sets *offset0 to the offset into the first page.
