Background:
iova_to_addr just lookups at the map which is constructed and manages the
relationship between iova to vaddr when MR is registering. By conventional,
we should map the userspace address(iova) every time we want to access it.
Please refer to the previous discussion[1][2] for more details.

Refactor:
In this refactoring, we will do the map every time before the user really
accesses it.

patch1,3,5 are cleanup and preparation.
patch2 is to make all subroutines accessing the iova use iova_to_vaddr() API.
patch4 is the refactor.
