[PATCH v2 4/5] block: map dma-buf iterators in blk_rq_map_user_iov()

From: Anuj Gupta <anuj20.g at samsung.com>

A dma-buf iterator can't fall back to a bounce copy, so map it directly
with blk_rq_map_user_bvec(), which already handles it through
bio_iov_iter_set(). Fail with -EINVAL where a copy would otherwise be
needed, and update the blk_rq_map_user_bvec() comment to match.
