Subject: [PATCH v6 05/34] iov_iter: Change the direction macros into an enum

Change the ITER_SOURCE and ITER_DEST direction macros into an enum and
provide three new helper functions:

 iov_iter_dir() - returns the iterator direction
 iov_iter_is_dest() - returns true if it's an ITER_DEST iterator
 iov_iter_is_source() - returns true if it's an ITER_SOURCE iterator
