block: bio_iov_iter_get_pages: pin more pages for multi-segment IOs
bio_iov_iter_get_pages() currently only adds pages for the next non-zero segment from the iov_iter to the bio. That's suboptimal for callers, which typically try to pin as many pages as fit into the bio. This patch converts the current bio_iov_iter_get_pages() into a static helper, and introduces a new helper that allocates as many pages as 1) fit into the bio, 2) are present in the iov_iter, 3) and can be pinned by MM. Error is returned only if zero pages could be pinned. Because of 3), a zero return value doesn't necessarily mean all pages have been pinned. Callers that have to pin every page in the iov_iter must still call this function in a loop (this is currently the case). This change matters most for __blkdev_direct_IO_simple(), which calls bio_iov_iter_get_pages() only once. If it obtains less pages than requested, it returns a "short write" or "short read", and __generic_file_write_iter() falls back to buffered writes, which may lead to data corruption.
