Pull compat mount cleanups from Al Viro:
 "The last remnants of mount(2) compat buried by Christoph.

  Buried into NFS, that is.

  Generally I'm less enthusiastic about "let's use in_compat_syscall()
  deep in call chain" kind of approach than Christoph seems to be, but
  in this case it's warranted - that had been an NFS-specific wart,
  hopefully not to be repeated in any other filesystems (read: any new
  filesystem introducing non-text mount options will get NAKed even if
  it doesn't mess the layout up).

  IOW, not worth trying to grow an infrastructure that would avoid that
  use of in_compat_syscall()..."

<title>iov_iter: refactor rw_copy_check_uvector and import_iovec</title>

<id>bfdc59701d6d100c99c3b987bcffd1c204e393c8</id>
<content type='text'>
Split rw_copy_check_uvector into two new helpers with more sensible
calling conventions:

 - iovec_from_user copies a iovec from userspace either into the provided
   stack buffer if it fits, or allocates a new buffer for it.  Returns
   the actually used iovec.  It also verifies that iov_len does fit a
   signed type, and handles compat iovecs if the compat flag is set.
 - __import_iovec consolidates the native and compat versions of
   import_iovec. It calls iovec_from_user, then validates each iovec
   actually points to user addresses, and ensures the total length
   doesn't overflow.

This has two major implications:

 - the access_process_vm case loses the total lenght checking, which
   wasn't required anyway, given that each call receives two iovecs
   for the local and remote side of the operation, and it verifies
   the total length on the local side already.
 - instead of a single loop there now are two loops over the iovecs.
   Given that the iovecs are cache hot this doesn't make a major
   difference
