Merge branch 'work.splice_read' of git://git./linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

Pull VFS splice updates from Al Viro:
 "There's a bunch of branches this cycle, both mine and from other folks
  and I'd rather send pull requests separately.

  This one is the conversion of ->splice_read() to ITER_PIPE iov_iter
  (and introduction of such). Gets rid of a lot of code in fs/splice.c
  and elsewhere; there will be followups, but these are for the next
  cycle...  Some pipe/splice-related cleanups from Miklos in the same
  branch as well"

* 'work.splice_read' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  pipe: fix comment in pipe_buf_operations
  pipe: add pipe_buf_steal() helper
  pipe: add pipe_buf_confirm() helper
  pipe: add pipe_buf_release() helper
  pipe: add pipe_buf_get() helper
  relay: simplify relay_file_read()
  switch default_file_splice_read() to use of pipe-backed iov_iter
  switch generic_file_splice_read() to use of ->read_iter()
  new iov_iter flavour: pipe-backed
  fuse_dev_splice_read(): switch to add_to_pipe()
  skb_splice_bits(): get rid of callback
  new helper: add_to_pipe()
  splice: lift pipe_lock out of splice_to_pipe()
  splice: switch get_iovec_page_array() to iov_iter
  splice_to_pipe(): don't open-code wakeup_pipe_readers()
  consistent treatment of EFAULT on O_DIRECT read/write
