iov: improve copy_iovec_from_user() code generation



Use the same pattern as the compat version of this code does: instead of
copying the whole array to a kernel buffer and then having a separate
phase of verifying it, just do it one entry at a time, verifying as you
go.

On Jens' /dev/zero readv() test this improves performance by ~6%.

[ This was obviously triggered by Jens' ITER_UBUF updates series ]
