Provide two new wrapper routines that are intended for user space pages
only:
iov_iter_pin_pages()
iov_iter_pin_pages_alloc()
Internally, these routines call pin_user_pages_fast(), instead of
get_user_pages_fast().
As always, callers must use unpin_user_pages() or a suitable FOLL_PIN
variant, to release the pages, if they actually were acquired via
pin_user_pages_fast().
This is a prerequisite to converting bio/block layers over to use
pin_user_pages_fast().
