let import_iovec deal with compat_iovecs as well

Hi Al,

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.
