new iov_iter flavour - ITER_UBUF
Equivalent of single-segment iovec. Initialized by iov_iter_ubuf(), checked for by iter_is_ubuf(), otherwise behaves like ITER_IOVEC ones. We are going to expose the things like ->write_iter() et.al. to those in subsequent commits. New predicate (user_backed_iter()) that is true for ITER_IOVEC and ITER_UBUF; places like direct-IO handling should use that for checking that pages we modify after getting them from iov_iter_get_pages() would need to be dirtied. DO NOT assume that replacing iter_is_iovec() with user_backed_iter() will solve all problems - there's code that uses iter_is_iovec() to decide how to poke around in iov_iter guts and for that the predicate replacement obviously won't suffice.
