vfs_read was stable for decade.
And next will be the same.
I followed the same approach we took to have an own version.
Refactoring vfs_read is not the best approach as we have set_fs things

I would prefer to have "kernel_read_nosec" function along with
kernel_read/vfs_read, so changes could be
made noticeably together..
