[PATCH v7 02/23] iov_iter: DDP copy to iter/pages

[Aurelien Aptel]

From: Ben Ben-Ishay <benishay at nvidia.com>

When using direct data placement (DDP) the NIC writes some of the payload
directly to the destination buffer, and constructs SKBs such that they
point to this data. To skip copies when SKB data already resides in the
destination we use the newly introduced routines in this commit, which
check if (src == dst), and skip the copy when that's true.

As the current user for these routines is in the block layer (nvme-tcp),
then we only apply the change for bio_vec. Other routines use the normal
methods for copying.
