Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] vmsplice: unmap gifted pages for recipient

From: Robert C Jennings <rcj@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

Introduce use of the unused SPLICE_F_MOVE flag for vmsplice to zap
pages.

When vmsplice is called with flags (SPLICE_F_GIFT | SPLICE_F_MOVE) the
writer's gift'ed pages would be zapped.  This patch supports further work
to move vmsplice'd pages rather than copying them.  That patch has the
restriction that the page must not be mapped by the source for the move,
otherwise it will fall back to copying the page.

Changes since v1:
 - Cleanup zap coalescing in splice_to_pipe for readability
 - Field added to struct partial_page in v1 was unnecessary, using 
   private field instead.
