Subject: [PATCH 2/7] iov_iter: Add a general purpose iteration function

Add a function, iov_iter_scan(), to iterate over the buffers described by
an I/O iterator, kmapping and passing each contiguous chunk the supplied
scanner function in turn, up to the requested amount of data or until the
scanner function returns an error.

This can be used, for example, to hash all the data in an iterator by
having the scanner function call the appropriate crypto update function.
