vn_io_fault() handling of the LOR for i/o into the file-backed buffers

Browse Source 
has observable overhead when the buffer pages are not resident or not
mapped.  The overhead comes at least from two factors, one is the
additional work needed to detect the situation, prepare and execute
the rollbacks.  Another is the consequence of the i/o splitting into
the batches of the held pages, causing filesystems see series of the
smaller i/o requests instead of the single large request.

Note that expected case of the resident i/o buffer does not expose
these issues.  Provide a prefaulting for the userspace i/o buffers,
disabled by default.  I am careful of not enabling prefaulting by
default for now, since it would be detrimental for the applications
which speculatively pass extra-large buffers of anonymous memory to
not deal with buffer sizing (if such apps exist).
