[PATCH 3/6] iov_iter: new iov_iter_pin_pages*() routines

[John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com>]

Provide two new wrapper routines that are intended for user space pages
only:

    iov_iter_pin_pages()
    iov_iter_pin_pages_alloc()

Internally, these routines call pin_user_pages_fast(), instead of
get_user_pages_fast().

As always, callers must use unpin_user_pages() or a suitable FOLL_PIN
variant, to release the pages, if they actually were acquired via
pin_user_pages_fast().

This is a prerequisite to converting bio/block layers over to use
pin_user_pages_fast().
