Andreas Gruenbacher 1d91c912e7 iov_iter: Introduce fault_in_iov_iter_writeable ...

commit cdd591fc86e38ad3899196066219fbbd845f3162 upstream

Introduce a new fault_in_iov_iter_writeable helper for safely faulting
in an iterator for writing.  Uses get_user_pages() to fault in the pages
without actually writing to them, which would be destructive.

We'll use fault_in_iov_iter_writeable in gfs2 once we've determined that
the iterator passed to .read_iter isn't in memory.
