Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/3] Fix splice for packetized pipes

With introduction of packetized pipes, splice wasn't updated to respect this
new behaviour.
In terms of splice it means, that it never set PIPE_BUF_FLAG_PACKET on
created pipe buffer regarless pipe operating mode, thus breaking the whole
logic.
To fix this, new SPLICE_F_PACKET flag was introduced. It's supposed to be used
only in kernel and set, when write pipe is in packetized mode. In
splice_to_pipe() it's converted into created pipe buffer PIPE_BUF_FLAG_PACKET
flag.

The following series implements...

Stanislav Kinsburskiy (3):
      pipe: make is_packetized() non-static and declare in pipe_fs_i.h
      splice: new SPLICE_F_PACKET flag introduced
      splice: add support of splicing to packetized pipe
