iov_iter: add copy_page_to_iter_nofault()
Provide a means to copy a page to user space from an iterator, aborting if
a page fault would occur. This supports compound pages, but may be passed
a tail page with an offset extending further into the compound page, so we
cannot pass a folio.
This allows for this function to be called from atomic context and _try_
to user pages if they are faulted in, aborting if not.
The function does not use _copy_to_iter() in order to not specify
might_fault(), this is similar to copy_page_from_iter_atomic().
This is being added in order that an iteratable form of vread() can be
implemented while holding spinlocks.
