spdk_ioviter_next will walk through two iovecs and yield pointers
to common length segments. For example, given a source iovec (siov) with
4 1KiB elements and a destination iovec (diov) with 1 4KiB element, the
following will happen:
first spdk_ioviter_next:
src = siov[0].iov_base
dst = diov[0].iov_base
len = 1KiB
second spdk_ioviter_next:
src = siov[1].iov_base
dst = diov[0].iov_base + 1KiB
len = 1KiB
third spdk_ioviter_next:
src = siov[2].iov_base
dst = diov[0].iov_base + 2KiB
len = 1KiB
fourth spdk_ioviter_next:
src = siov[3].iov_base
dst = diov[0].iov_base + 3KiB
len = 1KiB
fifth spdk_ioviter_next:
len = 0
This is a useful utility for performing operations where both the source
and destination are scattered memory. As an example and a test vehicle,
spdk_iovcpy has been updated to use this internally.
