Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/7] block, fs: assert that key paths use iovecs, and nothing else

Upcoming changes to Direct IO will change it from acquiring pages via
get_user_pages_fast(), to calling pin_user_pages_fast() instead.

Place a few assertions at key points, that the pages are IOVEC (user
pages), to enforce the assumptions that there are no kernel or pipe or
other odd variations being passed.
