RDMA/core: add bio_vec based RDMA read/write API

The existing rdma_rw_ctx_init() API requires callers to construct a
scatterlist, which is then DMA-mapped page by page. Callers that
already have data in bio_vec form (such as the NVMe-oF target) must
first convert to scatterlist, adding overhead and complexity.

Introduce rdma_rw_ctx_init_bvec() and rdma_rw_ctx_destroy_bvec() to
accept bio_vec arrays directly. The new helpers use dma_map_phys()
for hardware RDMA devices and virtual addressing for software RDMA
devices (rxe, siw), avoiding intermediate scatterlist construction.

Memory registration (MR) path support is deferred to a follow-up
series; callers requiring MR-based transfers (iWARP devices or
force_mr=1) receive -EOPNOTSUPP and should use the scatterlist API.
