Introduce a new iov_iter_fault_in_writeable helper for faulting in an iterator
for writing. The pages are faulted in manually, without writing to them, so
this function is non-destructive.
We'll use iov_iter_fault_in_writeable in gfs2 once we've determined that part
of the iterator isn't in memory.
