Convert the iov_iter iteration macros to inline functions to make the code
easier to follow.
The functions are marked __always_inline as we don't want to end up with
indirect calls in the code. This, however, leaves dealing with ->copy_mc
in an awkard situation since the step function (memcpy_from_iter_mc())
needs to test the flag in the iterator, but isn't passed the iterator.
This will be dealt with in a follow-up patch.
The variable names in the per-type iterator functions have been harmonised
as much as possible and made clearer as to the variable purpose.
The iterator functions are also moved to a header file so that other
operations that need to scan over an iterator can be added. For instance,
the rbd driver could use this to scan a buffer to see if it is all zeros
and libceph could use this to generate a crc.
