this series changes import_iovec to transparently deal with comat iovec
structures, and then cleanups up a lot of code dupliation.  But to get
there it first has to fix the pre-existing bug that io_uring compat
contexts don't trigger the in_compat_syscall() check.  This has so far
been relatively harmless as very little code callable from io_uring used
the check, and even that code that could be called usually wasn't.

I thought about that change while writing my import_iovec() => iovec_import()
patch - and thought that the io_uring code would (as usual) cause grief.

Christoph - did you see those patches?
