[PATCH] fs: remove duplicate permission checks in do_sendfile()

[Tianjia Zhang]

The permission check for out.file is mainly performed in the function
rw_verify_area(), and this check is called twice in the function
do_splice_direct() and before calling do_splice_direct(). This is a
redundant check and it is necessary to remove.
