[PATCH 13/14] fs: implement default_file_splice_read using __kernel_read

[Christoph Hellwig]

default_file_splice_read goes through great lenght to create an
iovec array and iov_iter for all the reads, but is a helper only
useful for files not implementing ->read_iter as we have the much
better generic_file_splice_read version available for those.  Remove
the iters and just call __kernel_read in a loop instead.
