We have new helpers for this, use them rather than the slower inode
size reads. This makes the read/write path consistent with most of
the rest of block as well.

Nobody cares about iov iterators state if we return -EIOCBQUEUED, so as
the we now have __blkdev_direct_IO_async(), which gets pages only once,
we can skip expensive iov_iter_advance(). It's around 1-2% of all CPU
spent.

The second argument was only used by the USB gadget code, yet everyone
pays the overhead of passing a zero to be passed into aio, where it
ends up being part of the aio res2 value.

Now that everybody is passing in zero, kill off the extra argument.

As with __blkdev_direct_IO_simple(), we can implement direct IO more
efficiently if there is only one bio. Add __blkdev_direct_IO_async() and
blkdev_bio_end_io_async(). This patch brings me from 4.45-4.5 MIOPS with
nullblk to 4.7+.
