Make it possible to handle not only single-, but also multi-
segment iterators in copy_oldmem_iter() callback. Change the
semantics of called functions to match the iterator model -
instead of an error code the exact number of bytes copied is
returned.
The swap page used to copy data to user space is adopted for
kernel space too. That does not bring any performance impact.

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.
