iov: avoid memcpy for "simple" iov_from_buf/iov_to_buf

memcpy can take a large amount of time for small reads and writes.
For virtio it is a common case that the first iovec can satisfy the
whole read or write.  In that case, and if bytes is a constant to
avoid excessive growth of code, inline the first iteration
into the caller.
