Many embedded systems will not need the splice-family syscalls (splice,
vmsplice, tee and sendfile). Omitting them saves space.  This adds a new EXPERT
config option CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE (default y) to support compiling them out.

This patch removes almost all callers of .splice_read() and .splice_write()
in the file_operations struct. This paves the way to eventually compile out the
.splice_read and .splice_write members of the file_operations struct as well as
the remaining splice-related infrastructure.

This commit message doesn't reflect the new approach of leaving those
members in the structure.

The patch looks good otherwise.

* [PATCH 3/6] fs/splice: support compiling out splice-family syscalls

Many embedded systems will not need the splice-family syscalls (splice,
vmsplice, tee and sendfile). Omitting them saves space.  This adds a new EXPERT
config option CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE (default y) to support compiling them out.

The goal is to completely compile out fs/splice. To achieve this, the remaining
patch-set will deal with fs/splice exports. As far as possible, the impact on
other device drivers will be minimized so as to reduce the maintenance burden
of CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE.

The use of exported functions will be solved by transparently mocking them out
with static inlines. Use of the exported pipe_buf_operations struct however
require direct modification in fs/fuse and net/core. The next two patches will
deal with this.

Once all exports are solved, fs/splice can be compiled out.

The bloat benefit of this patch given a tinyconfig is:

+	  This option enables the splice, vmsplice, tee and sendfile syscalls. These
+	  are used by applications to: move data between buffers and arbitrary file
+	  descriptors; "copy" data between buffers; or copy data from userspace into
+	  buffers. If building an embedded system where no applications use these
+	  syscalls, you can disable this option to save space.
