Allow consumers that want to use iov iterator helpers and also update
a predefined hash calculation online when copying data. This is useful
when copying incoming network buffers to a local iterator and calculate
a digest on the incoming stream. nvme-tcp host driver that will be
introduced in following patches is the first consumer via
skb_copy_and_hash_datagram_iter.

The single caller to csum_and_copy_to_iter is skb_copy_and_csum_datagram
and we are trying to unite its logic with skb_copy_datagram_iter by passing
a callback to the copy function that we want to apply. Thus, we need
to make the checksum pointer private to the function.

Add a new iterator, ITER_DISCARD, that can only be used in READ mode and
just discards any data copied to it.

This is useful in a network filesystem for discarding any unwanted data
sent by a server.

<title>iov_iter: Separate type from direction and use accessor functions</title>

<content type='text'>
In the iov_iter struct, separate the iterator type from the iterator
direction and use accessor functions to access them in most places.

Convert a bunch of places to use switch-statements to access them rather
then chains of bitwise-AND statements.  This makes it easier to add further
iterator types.  Also, this can be more efficient as to implement a switch
of small contiguous integers, the compiler can use ~50% fewer compare
instructions than it has to use bitwise-and instructions.

Further, cease passing the iterator type into the iterator setup function.
The iterator function can set that itself.  Only the direction is required.

Use accessor functions to access an iterator's type and direction.  This
allows for the possibility of using some other method of determining the
type of iterator than if-chains with bitwise-AND conditions.

<title>uaccess: Fix is_source param for check_copy_size() in copy_to_iter_mcsafe()</title>

copy_to_iter_mcsafe() is passing in the is_source parameter as "false"
to check_copy_size(). This is different than what copy_to_iter() does.
Also, the addr parameter passed to check_copy_size() is the source so
therefore we should be passing in "true" instead.

Use the updated memcpy_mcsafe() implementation to define
copy_user_mcsafe() and copy_to_iter_mcsafe(). The most significant
difference from typical copy_to_iter() is that the ITER_KVEC and
ITER_BVEC iterator types can fail to complete a full transfer.
