iomap: add the new iomap_iter model
The iomap_iter struct provides a convenient way to package up and maintain all the arguments to the various mapping and operation functions. It is operated on using the iomap_iter() function that is called in loop until the whole range has been processed. Compared to the existing iomap_apply() function this avoid an indirect call for each iteration. For now iomap_iter() calls back into the existing ->iomap_begin and ->iomap_end methods, but in the future this could be further optimized to avoid indirect calls entirely. Based on an earlier patch from Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>.
