scsi: target: tcmu: Optimize scatter_data_area()
scatter_data_area() has two purposes: 1) Create the iovs for the data area buffer of a SCSI cmd. 2) If there is data in DMA_TO_DEVICE direction, copy the data from sg_list to data area buffer. Both are done in a common loop. In case of DMA_FROM_DEVICE data transfer, scatter_data_area() is called with parameter copy_data = false. But this flag is just used to skip memcpy() for data, while radix_tree_lookup still is called for every dbi of the area area buffer, and kmap and kunmap are called for every page from sg_list and data_area as well as flush_dcache_page() for the data area pages. Since the only thing to do with copy_data = false would be to set up the iovs, this is a noticeable overhead. Rework the iov creation in the main loop of scatter_data_area() providing the new function new_block_to_iov(). Based on this, create the short new function tcmu_setup_iovs() that only writes the iovs with no overhead. This new function is now called instead of scatter_data_area() for bidi buffers and for data buffers in those cases where memcpy() would have been skipped.
