[patch] fix mapping_gfp_mask usage

[Nick Piggin]

mapping_gfp_mask is not supposed to store allocation contex details, only page
location details. So mapping_gfp_mask should be applied to the pagecache page
allocation, wheras normal (kernel mapped) memory should be used for surrounding
allocations such as radix-tree nodes allocated by add_to_page_cache. Context
modifiers should be applied on a per-callsite basis.

So change splice to follow this convention (which is followed in similar
code patterns in core code).
