iomap: fault in smaller chunks for non-large folio mappings

Since commit (5d8edfb9 "iomap: Copy larger chunks from userspace"),
iomap will try to copy in larger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. However, if the
mapping doesn't support large folio, only one page of maximum 4KB will
be created and 4KB data will be writen to pagecache each time. Then,
next 4KB will be handled in next iteration. This will cause potential
write performance problem.

If chunk is 2MB, total 512 pages need to be handled finally. During this
period, fault_in_iov_iter_readable() is called to check iov_iter readable
validity. Since only 4KB will be handled each time, below address space
will be checked over and over again:

start         	end
-
buf,    	buf+2MB
buf+4KB, 	buf+2MB
buf+8KB, 	buf+2MB
...
buf+2044KB 	buf+2MB

Obviously the checking size is wrong since only 4KB will be handled each
time. So this will get a correct chunk to let iomap work well in non-large
folio case.

With this change, the write speed will be stable. Tested on ARM64 device.

Before:

 - dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=400K  count=10485  (334 MB/s)
 - dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=800K  count=5242   (278 MB/s)
 - dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1600K count=2621   (204 MB/s)
 - dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=2200K count=1906   (170 MB/s)
 - dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=3000K count=1398   (150 MB/s)
 - dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4500K count=932    (139 MB/s)

After:

 - dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=400K  count=10485  (339 MB/s)
 - dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=800K  count=5242   (330 MB/s)
 - dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1600K count=2621   (332 MB/s)
 - dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=2200K count=1906   (333 MB/s)
 - dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=3000K count=1398   (333 MB/s)
 - dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4500K count=932    (333 MB/s)
