unfortunately, Ted's changes to ext4_file_write() are *still* an
incomplete fix - playing with rlimits can let you smuggle an
unaligned request past the checks.  So there almost certainly
will be more merge PITA around that place...

Beginning to introduce those.  Just the callers for now, and it's
clumsier than it'll eventually become; once we finish converting
aio_read and aio_write instances, the things will get nicer.

For now, these guys are in parallel to ->aio_read() and ->aio_write();
they take iocb and iov_iter, with everything in iov_iter already
validated.  File offset is passed in iocb->ki_pos, iov/nr_segs -
in iov_iter.

Main concerns in that series are stack footprint and ability to
split the damn thing cleanly.

Since we are about to introduce new methods (read_iter/write_iter), the
tests in a bunch of places would have to grow inconveniently.  Check
once (at open() time) and store results in ->f_mode as FMODE_CAN_READ
and FMODE_CAN_WRITE resp.  It might end up being a temporary measure -
once everything switches from ->aio_{read,write} to ->{read,write}_iter
it might make sense to return to open-coded checks.  We'll see...

pos is redundant (it's iocb->ki_pos), and iov/nr_segs/count are taken

Now It Can Be Done(tm) - we don't need to do iov_shorten() in
generic_file_direct_write() anymore, now that all ->direct_IO()
instances are converted to proper iov_iter methods and honour
iter->count and iter->iov_offset properly.

Get rid of count/ocount arguments of generic_file_direct_write(),
while we are at it.

iov_iter_get_pages(iter, pages, maxsize, &start) grabs references pinning
the pages of up to maxsize of (contiguous) data from iter.  Returns the
amount of memory grabbed or -error.  In case of success, the requested
area begins at offset start in pages[0] and runs through pages[1], etc.
Less than requested amount might be returned - either because the contiguous
area in the beginning of iterator is smaller than requested, or because
the kernel failed to pin that many pages.

direct-io.c switched to using iov_iter_get_pages()
