[PATCH] vfs: fix uninitialized flags in splice_to_pipe()

[Miklos Szeredi]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxxxxx>

Flags (PIPE_BUF_FLAG_PACKET, PIPE_BUF_FLAG_GIFT) could remain on the unused
part of the pipe ring buffer.  Previously splice_to_pipe() left the flags
value alone, which could result in incorrect behavior.

Uninitialized flags appears to have been there from the introduction of the
splice syscall.
