Introduce a new fault_in_iov_iter_writeable helper for safely faulting
in an iterator for writing. Uses get_user_pages() to fault in the pages
without actually writing to them, which would be destructive.
We'll use fault_in_iov_iter_writeable in gfs2 once we've determined that
the iterator passed to .read_iter isn't in memory.
