[PATCH RESEND] splice: introduce FMODE_SPLICE_READ and FMODE_SPLICE_WRITE

From: Johannes Thumshirn
Date: Wed Jan 11 2017 - 04:54:04 EST


Introduce FMODE_SPLICE_READ and FMODE_SPLICE_WRITE. These modes check
whether it is legal to read or write a file using splice. Both get
automatically set on regular files and are not checked when a 'struct
fileoperations' includes the splice_{read,write} methods.
