[PATCH v2 8/8] ublk: lift checks out of ublk_{,un}map_io()

ublk_map_io() and ublk_unmap_io() are no-ops for ublk devices that
enable user copy or zero copy, as well as for requests without data to
copy in the given direction. However, the implementation is a bit
convoluted, returning the full request data length and relying on the
caller to check the return value against the request length.
UBLK_F_SHMEM_ZC recently added branches to skip the ublk_{,un}map_io()
call for I/Os using a shared-memory buffer. This is a more logical place
for the device need_map and the ublk_need_{,un}map_req() checks, so move
them there from ublk_{,un}map_io().
Checking these conditions early also skips the expensive pointer-chasing
for the ublk_iod_is_shmem_zc() check in __ublk_complete_rq() for the
common case of a ublk device using user copy or zero copy.
Drop the req_op() filter in __ublk_complete_rq(), as it's redundant with
the ublk_need_unmap_req() check.
