David Howells c450846461 afs: Set up the iov_iter before calling afs_extract_data()
afs_extract_data() sets up a temporary iov_iter and passes it to AF_RXRPC
each time it is called to describe the remaining buffer to be filled.

Instead:

 (1) Put an iterator in the afs_call struct.

 (2) Set the iterator for each marshalling stage to load data into the
     appropriate places.  A number of convenience functions are provided to
     this end (eg. afs_extract_to_buf()).

     This iterator is then passed to afs_extract_data().

 (3) Use the new ITER_XARRAY iterator when reading data to load directly
     into the inode's pages without needing to create a list of them.

This will allow O_DIRECT calls to be supported in future patches.

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.
