[GIT PULL] Turn single vector imports into ITER_UBUF

[GIT PULL] Turn single vector imports into ITER_UBUF

[Jens Axboe]

Hi Linus,

This series turns singe vector imports into ITER_UBUF, rather than
ITER_IOVEC. The former is more trivial to iterate and advance, and hence
a bit more efficient. From some very unscientific testing, ~60% of all
iovec imports are single vector.

One fixup patch from Josh since this was last posted, fixing a UACCESS
complaint that was due to the compiler optimization gone wrong where it
moves user_access_begin() outside of copy_compat_iovec_from_user().

This has been in linux-next for about a month without any complaints,
outside of the above mentioned UACCESS warning.

Please pull for 6.4-rc1!
