netfs: Add a function to extract an iterator into a scatterlist
Provide a function for filling in a scatterlist from the list of pages contained in an iterator. If the iterator is UBUF- or IOBUF-type, the pages have a pin taken on them (as FOLL_PIN). If the iterator is BVEC-, KVEC- or XARRAY-type, no pin is taken on the pages and it is left to the caller to manage their lifetime. It cannot be assumed that a ref can be validly taken, particularly in the case of a KVEC iterator.
