Add a function, iov_iter_extract_pages(), to extract a list of pages from
an iterator.  The pages may be returned with a reference added or a pin
added or neither, depending on the type of iterator and the direction of
transfer.

The function also indicates the mode of retention that was employed for an
iterator - and therefore how the caller should dispose of the pages later.

There are three cases:

 (1) Transfer *into* an ITER_IOVEC or ITER_UBUF iterator.

     Extracted pages will have pins obtained on them (but not references)
     so that fork() doesn't CoW the pages incorrectly whilst the I/O is in
     progress.

     The indicated mode of retention will be FOLL_PIN for this case.  The
     caller should use something like unpin_user_page() to dispose of the
     page.

 (2) Transfer is *out of* an ITER_IOVEC or ITER_UBUF iterator.

     Extracted pages will have references obtained on them, but not pins.

     The indicated mode of retention will be FOLL_GET.  The caller should
     use something like put_page() for page disposal.

 (3) Any other sort of iterator.

     No refs or pins are obtained on the page, the assumption is made that
     the caller will manage page retention.

     The indicated mode of retention will be 0.  The pages don't need
     additional disposal.

Changes:
========
ver #3)
 - Switch to using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to prevent indirect 3rd-party access
   to get/pin_user_pages_fast()[1].

+ * Extract a list of contiguous pages from the current point of the iterator,

+ * If *@pages is NULL, a page list will be allocated to the required size and

+ *
+ * Extra refs or pins on the pages may be obtained as follows:
+ *
+ *  (*) If the iterator is user-backed (ITER_IOVEC/ITER_UBUF) and data is to be
+ *      transferred /OUT OF/ the described buffer, refs will be taken on the

+ *      pages, but refs will not be taken.  This must be used for DMA to a
+ *      page.  *@cleanup_mode will be set to FOLL_PIN.
+ *
+ *  (*) If the iterator is ITER_PIPE, this must describe a destination for the
+ *      data.  Additional pages may be allocated and added to the pipe (which

+ *
+ * Note also:
+ *
+ *  (*) Use with ITER_KVEC is not supported as that may refer to memory that
+ *      doesn't have associated page structs.
+ *
+ *  (*) Use with ITER_DISCARD is not supported as that has no content.
+ *
+ * On success, the function sets *@pages to the new pagelist, if allocated, and
+ * sets *offset0 to the offset into the first page, *cleanup_mode to the
