[PATCH v20 05/32] splice: Make splice from a DAX file use direct_splice_read()

[David Howells]

Make a read splice from a DAX file go directly to direct_splice_read() to
do the reading as filemap_splice_read() is unlikely to find any pagecache
to splice.

I think this affects only erofs, Ext2, Ext4, fuse and XFS.
