Add an iov_iter to the unions in ceph_msg_data and ceph_msg_data_cursor. Instead of requiring a list of pages or bvecs, we can just use an iov_iter directly, and avoid extra allocations. We assume that the pages represented by the iter are pinned such that they shouldn't incur page faults, which is the case for the iov_iters created by netfs. While working on this, Al Viro informed me that he was going to change iov_iter_get_pages to auto-advance the iterator as that pattern is more or less required for ITER_PIPE anyway. We emulate that here for now by advancing in the _next op and tracking that amount in the "lastlen" field. In the event that _next is called twice without an intervening _advance, we revert the iov_iter by the remaining lastlen before calling iov_iter_get_pages.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
