iov: improve copy_iovec_from_user() code generation
Use the same pattern as the compat version of this code does: instead of copying the whole array to a kernel buffer and then having a separate phase of verifying it, just do it one entry at a time, verifying as you go. On Jens' /dev/zero readv() test this improves performance by ~6%.
