Those fixes were requested for the azure kernels but theys are
relevant for all kernels, so apply them to the master kernels.

Those are simple patches and clean cherry picks from upstream, the
first patch (98a09d6106660 - "bio_copy_from_iter(): get rid of copying
iov_iter") is only need for 4.4.

Also, since they were introduced upstream in 4.20, they are not needed
for Disco.

Keith Busch (2):
  block: Clear kernel memory before copying to user
  block/bio: Do not zero user pages
