netfs: Add support for DIO buffering

Add a bvec array pointer and an iterator to netfs_io_request for either
holding a copy of a DIO iterator or a list of all the bits of buffer
pointed to by a DIO iterator.

There are two problems:  Firstly, if an iovec-class iov_iter is passed to
->read_iter() or ->write_iter(), this cannot be passed directly to
kernel_sendmsg() or kernel_recvmsg() as that may cause locking recursion if
a fault is generated, so we need to keep track of the pages involved
separately.

Secondly, if the I/O is asynchronous, we must copy the iov_iter describing
the buffer before returning to the caller as it may be immediately
deallocated.
