Subject: [PATCH] iov_iter: Update direction initializers to new naming convention

Commit de4eda9de2d95 ("use less confusing names for iov_iter direction
initializers") updated the direction initializers from READ/WRITE to the
more intuitive ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE.

However, the function iov_iter_ubuf() is still using the old READ/WRITE
names, which could confuse readers who might expect the new
ITER_DEST/ITER_SOURCE arguments.

Update iov_iter_ubuf() to use the new ITER_DEST/ITER_SOURCE macros,
removing the old and confusing READ/WRITE macros.
