ITER_UBUF is a more efficient representation when using single vector
buffers, providing small optimizations over ITER_IOVEC. This series
introduces a helper to set these up, and replaces all applicable users
of import_single_range with the new helper. And since there are no
single range users left after this change, the helper is no longer
needed.

As noted in v1(*), there are some fundamental differences to how io_uring
compares to read/write/readv/writev. There are only the two affected
file_operations, and they already do not work with io_uring due to their
diverging semantics for vectored vs non-vectored read/write. Therefore,
this series having io_uring prefer ubuf iov_iter isn't introducing new
breakage.

Pondering how to stage this, both for later upstream but also for
testing. Would probably make the best sense to stage 1-5 separately,
and then just punt the remaining ones to the appropriate subsystems.
And then 12/12 can go in when they have all been applied.
