    mm: Use iov_iter in __swap_writepage()
    
    Pack argument into iov_iter. Move mapping_direct_IO()
    to header to access it from more files.

    =====================
    Patchset description:
    [00/30] fs,direct_IO: Switch to iov_iter and allow bio_vec for ext4
    
    This patchset transforms direct_IO callbacks, blockdev_direct_IO
    and its underlining functions to iov_iter, and introduces complete
    support of iov_iter for ext4.
    
    Supported iov_iter subtypes for ext4 is iovec and bio_vec. The first
    is for traditional user-submitted aio, while bio_vec is the type,
    which is important for us, since we use it in ploop.
    
    bio_vec operates with pages instead of user addresses (like iovec
    does), so it requires specific callbacks in do_blockdev_direct_IO()
    and in the functions it calls.
    
    The patchset reworks do_blockdev_direct_IO() in the same manner
    as in mainstrean. The most of rest patches are prepared manually,
    since we have significant differences to ms (RHEL7 patches, our
    direct IO patches for FUSE; all they have changed many functions).
    At the end, kaio engine (resulting in direct_IO) became possible
    to be enabled for ext4.
