preadv/pwritev: create compat_readv()

This patch series:

Implement the preadv() and pwritev() syscalls.  *BSD has this syscall for
quite some time.

Test code:

#if 0
set -x
gcc -Wall -O2 -o preadv $0
exit 0
#endif
/*
 * preadv demo / test
 *
 * (c) 2008 Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com>
 *
 * build with "sh $thisfile"
 */

This patch:

Factor out some code from compat_sys_readv() which can be shared with the
upcoming compat_sys_preadv().
