ublk: use copy_{to,from}_iter() for user copy
ublk_copy_user_pages()/ublk_copy_io_pages() currently uses
iov_iter_get_pages2() to extract the pages from the iov_iter and
memcpy()s between the bvec_iter and the iov_iter's pages one at a time.
Switch to using copy_to_iter()/copy_from_iter() instead. This avoids the
user page reference count increments and decrements and needing to split
the memcpy() at user page boundaries. It also simplifies the code
considerably.
Ming reports a 40% throughput improvement when issuing I/O to the
selftests null ublk server with zero-copy disabled.
