Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/4] 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 reference added or a pin
added or neither, depending on the type of iterator and the direction of
transfer.

An additional function, iov_iter_extract_mode() is also provided so that the
mode of retention that will be employed for an iterator can be queried - and
therefore how the caller should dispose of the pages later.

There are three cases:

 (1) Transfer *into* an ITER_IOVEC or ITER_UBUF iterator.

     Extracted pages will have pins obtained on them (but not references)
     so that fork() doesn't CoW the pages incorrectly whilst the I/O is in
     progress.

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

 (2) Transfer is *out of* an ITER_IOVEC or ITER_UBUF iterator.

     Extracted pages will have references obtained on them, but not pins.

     iov_iter_extract_mode() will return FOLL_GET.  The caller should use
     something like put_page() for page disposal.

 (3) 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_mode() will return 0.  The pages don't need additional
     disposal.
