sendmsg() with a single iov becomes ITER_UBUF, sendmsg() with multiple

value for UBUF, so teach to treat UBUF differently.

This change looks good to me from devmem perspective, but aren't you
potentially breaking all these existing callers to iter_iov_len?

ackc -i iter_iov_len
fs/read_write.c
846:                                            iter_iov_len(iter), ppos);
849:                                            iter_iov_len(iter), ppos);
858:            if (nr != iter_iov_len(iter))

mm/madvise.c
1808:           size_t len_in = iter_iov_len(iter);
1838:           iov_iter_advance(iter, iter_iov_len(iter));

io_uring/rw.c
710:                    len = iter_iov_len(iter);

Or are you confident this change is compatible with these callers for
some reason?
Pavel did go over all callers, see:

Yes, the patch should work

Maybe better to handle this locally in zerocopy_fill_skb_from_devmem,
and then follow up with a more ambitious change that streamlines how
all the iters behave.

Yes, I can definitely do that, but it seems a bit strange that the
callers need to distinguish between IOVEC and UBUF (which is a 1-entry
IOVEC), so having working iter_iov_len seems a bit cleaner.

It might be a good idea to rename it at some point to highlight that
it also works with ubufs (but not as a part of this fix).
