[PATCH] erofs: use the shared page cache for splice in inode_share mode

erofs_ishare_fops routes everything that touches the page cache to the
backing file in ->private_data: read_iter clones the iocb onto it, mmap
does vma_set_file(), fadvise calls vfs_fadvise() on it. splice_read was
left as filemap_splice_read(), which works on the user file's own mapping.
filemap_splice_read() does init_sync_kiocb(&iocb, in), and
filemap_get_pages() then takes iocb->ki_filp->f_mapping, so splice() and
sendfile() populate the per-file page cache from disk instead of using the
shared one. The data is correct, since erofs_fill_inode() sets that
mapping's a_ops either way, but the same content ends up cached twice,
which is what inode_share is there to avoid.
Pass the backing file, as read_iter already does.
