David Howells 1ccf164ec8 block: Use iov_iter_extract_pages() and page pinning in direct-io.c
Change the old block-based direct-I/O code to use iov_iter_extract_pages()
to pin user pages or leave kernel pages unpinned rather than taking refs
when submitting bios.

This makes use of the preceding patches to not take pins on the zero page
(thereby allowing insertion of zero pages in with pinned pages) and to get
additional pins on pages, allowing an extracted page to be used in multiple
bios without having to re-extract it.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
