passing kmap_local_page() result to __kernel_write() is unsafe - random ->write_iter() might (and 9p one does) get unhappy when passed ITER_KVEC with pointer that came from kmap_local_page(). Fix by providing a variant of __kernel_write() that takes an iov_iter from caller (__kernel_write() becomes a trivial wrapper) and adding dump_emit_page() that parallels dump_emit(), except that instead of __kernel_write() it uses __kernel_write_iter() with ITER_BVEC source.

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.
