splice: Make splice from a DAX file use copy_splice_read()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Make a read splice from a DAX file go directly to copy_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.
