Instead of passing in a 'buf' and 'userbuf' argument, pass in an iov_iter.
s390 needs more work to pass the iov_iter down further, or refactor,
but I'd be more comfortable if someone who can test on s390 did that work.

It's more convenient to convert the whole of read_from_oldmem() to
take an iov_iter at the same time, so rename it to read_from_oldmem_iter()
and add a temporary read_from_oldmem() wrapper that creates an iov_iter.

Thanks for making this to do an awesome clean up. This one looks good to
me.

I am curious why this parameter is called 'csize', but not 'size' directly.
This is not related to this patch, it's an old naming.
