Subject: [RFC 13/13] cifs: DIO to/from KVEC-type iterators should now work

DIO to/from KVEC-type iterators should now work as the iterator is passed
down to the socket in non-RDMA/non-crypto mode and in RDMA or crypto mode
care is taken to handle vmap/vmalloc correctly and not take page refs when
building a scatterlist.
