Hi Linus,

This adds a helper to save/restore iov_iter state, and modifies io_uring
to use it. After that is done, we can kill the iter->truncated addition
that we added for this release. The io_uring change is being overly
cautious with the save/restore/advance, but better safe than sorry and
we can always improve that and reduce the overhead if it proves to be of
concern. The only case to be worried about in this regard is huge IO,
where iteration can take a while to iterate segments.

I spent some time writing test cases, and expanded the coverage quite a
bit from the last posting of this. liburing carries this regression test
case now:

https://git.kernel.dk/cgit/liburing/tree/test/file-verify.c

which exercises all of this. It now also supports provided buffers, and
explicitly tests for end-of-file/device truncation as well.

On top of that, Pavel sanitized the IOPOLL retry path to follow the
exact same pattern as normal IO.

Please pull!
