Subject: [PATCH v5 07/11] iov_iter: Add a kernel-type iterator-only iteration function

Add an iteration function that can only iterate over kernel internal-type
iterators (ie. BVEC, KVEC, XARRAY) and not user-backed iterators (ie. UBUF
and IOVEC).  This allows for smaller iterators to be built when it is known
the caller won't have a user-backed iterator.
