The zero_user() API is almost unused these days.  Finish the job of
removing it.

Both the block layer users really should use bvec based helpers.
I was planning to get to that this merge window.  Can we queue up
just the other two removals for and remove zero_user after -rc1
to reduce conflicts?

If I'd known you were doing that, I wouldn't've bothered.  However,
Andrew's taken the patches now, so I'm inclined to leave them in.
No matter which tree it gets merged through, this is a relatively easy
conflict to resolve (ie just take your version).  I have some more
patches which build on the removal of zero_user() so it'd be nice to
not hold them up.
