saner iov_iter initialization primitives

iovec-backed iov_iter instances are assumed to satisfy several properties:
	* no more than UIO_MAXIOV elements in iovec array
	* total size of all ranges is no more than MAX_RW_COUNT
	* all ranges pass access_ok().

The problem is, invariants of data structures should be established in the
primitives creating those data structures, not in the code using those
primitives.  And iov_iter_init() violates that principle.  For a while we
managed to get away with that, but once the use of iov_iter started to
spread, it didn't take long for shit to hit the fan - missed check in
sys_sendto() had introduced a roothole.

We _do_ have primitives for importing and validating iovecs (both native and
compat ones) and those primitives are almost always followed by shoving the
resulting iovec into iov_iter.  Life would be considerably simpler (and safer)
if we combined those primitives with initializing iov_iter.

That gives us two new primitives - import_iovec() and compat_import_iovec().
Calling conventions:
	iovec = iov_array;
	err = import_iovec(direction, uvec, nr_segs,
			   ARRAY_SIZE(iov_array), &iovec,
			   &iter);
imports user vector into kernel space (into iov_array if it fits, allocated
if it doesn't fit or if iovec was NULL), validates it and sets iter up to
refer to it.  On success 0 is returned and allocated kernel copy (or NULL
if the array had fit into caller-supplied one) is returned via iovec.
On failure all allocations are undone and -E... is returned.  If the total
size of ranges exceeds MAX_RW_COUNT, the excess is silently truncated.

compat_import_iovec() expects uvec to be a pointer to user array of compat_iovec;
otherwise it's identical to import_iovec().

Finally, import_single_range() sets iov_iter backed by single-element iovec
covering a user-supplied range -

	err = import_single_range(direction, address, size, iovec, &iter);

does validation and sets iter up.  Again, size in excess of MAX_RW_COUNT gets
silently truncated.

Next commits will be switching the things up to use of those and reducing
the amount of iov_iter_init() instances.
