Improve the efficiency of buffered reads in a number of ways:
(1) Overhaul the algorithm in general so that it's a lot more compact and
split the read submission code between buffered and unbuffered
versions. The unbuffered version can be vastly simplified.
(2) Read-result collection is handed off to a work queue rather than being
done in the I/O thread. Multiple subrequests can be processes
simultaneously.
(3) When a subrequest is collected, any folios it fully spans are
collected and "spare" data on either side is donated to either the
previous or the next subrequest in the sequence.
Notes:
(*) Readahead expansion is massively slows down fio, presumably because it
causes a load of extra allocations, both folio and xarray, up front
before RPC requests can be transmitted.
(*) RDMA with cifs does appear to work, both with SIW and RXE.
(*) PG_private_2-based reading and copy-to-cache is split out into its own
file and altered to use folio_queue. Note that the copy to the cache
now creates a new write transaction against the cache and adds the
folios to be copied into it. This allows it to use part of the
writeback I/O code.

Add a function to work out how much of an ITER_BVEC or ITER_XARRAY iterator
we can use in a pagecount-limited and size-limited span. This will be
used, for example, to limit the number of segments in a subrequest to the
maximum number of elements that an RDMA transfer can handle.

Move netfs_extract_iter_to_sg() to lib/scatterlist.c as it's going to be
used by more than just network filesystems (AF_ALG, for example).

Fix netfs_extract_iter_to_sg() for ITER_UBUF and ITER_IOVEC to set the
size of the page to the part of the page extracted, not the remaining
amount of data in the extracted page array at that point.
This doesn't yet affect anything as cifs, the only current user, only
passes in non-user-backed iterators.

Fix the loop check in netfs_extract_user_to_sg() for extraction from
user-backed iterators to do the body if npages > 0, not if npages < 0
(which it can never be).
This isn't currently used by cifs, which only ever extracts data from BVEC,
KVEC and XARRAY iterators at this level, user-backed iterators having being
decanted into BVEC iterators at a higher level to accommodate the work
being done in a kernel thread.
Found by smatch:
fs/netfs/iterator.c:139 netfs_extract_user_to_sg() warn: unsigned 'npages' is never less than zero.

Pull cifs client updates from Steve French:
"The largest subset of this is from David Howells et al: making the
cifs/smb3 driver pass iov_iters down to the lowest layers, directly to
the network transport rather than passing lists of pages around,
helping multiple areas:
- Pin user pages, thereby fixing the race between concurrent DIO read
and fork, where the pages containing the DIO read buffer may end up
belonging to the child process and not the parent - with the result
that the parent might not see the retrieved data.
- cifs shouldn't take refs on pages extracted from non-user-backed
iterators (eg. KVEC). With these changes, cifs will apply the
appropriate cleanup.
- Making it easier to transition to using folios in cifs rather than
pages by dealing with them through BVEC and XARRAY iterators.
- Allowing cifs to use the new splice function
The remainder are:
- fixes for stable, including various fixes for uninitialized memory,
wrong length field causing mount issue to very old servers,
important directory lease fixes and reconnect fixes
- cleanups (unused code removal, change one element array usage, and
a change form strtobool to kstrtobool, and Kconfig cleanups)
- SMBDIRECT (RDMA) fixes including iov_iter integration and UAF fixes
- reconnect fixes
- multichannel fixes, including improving channel allocation (to
least used channel)
- remove the last use of lock_page_killable by moving to
folio_lock_killable"

Provide a function for filling in a scatterlist from the list of pages
contained in an iterator.
If the iterator is UBUF- or IOBUF-type, the pages have a pin taken on them
(as FOLL_PIN).
If the iterator is BVEC-, KVEC- or XARRAY-type, no pin is taken on the
pages and it is left to the caller to manage their lifetime. It cannot be
assumed that a ref can be validly taken, particularly in the case of a KVEC
iterator.

Add a function to extract the pages from a user-space supplied iterator
(UBUF- or IOVEC-type) into a BVEC-type iterator, retaining the pages by
getting a pin on them (as FOLL_PIN) as we go.
This is useful in three situations:
(1) A userspace thread may have a sibling that unmaps or remaps the
process's VM during the operation, changing the assignment of the
pages and potentially causing an error. Retaining the pages keeps
some pages around, even if this occurs; futher, we find out at the
point of extraction if EFAULT is going to be incurred.
(2) Pages might get swapped out/discarded if not retained, so we want to
retain them to avoid the reload causing a deadlock due to a DIO
from/to an mmapped region on the same file.
(3) The iterator may get passed to sendmsg() by the filesystem. If a
fault occurs, we may get a short write to a TCP stream that's then
tricky to recover from.
We don't deal with other types of iterator here, leaving it to other
mechanisms to retain the pages (eg. PG_locked, PG_writeback and the pipe
lock).
