Subject: [044/107] splice: direct_splice_actor() should not use pos in sd

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Changli Gao <xiaosuo@...il.com>

commit 2cb4b05e7647891b46b91c07c9a60304803d1688 upstream.

direct_splice_actor() shouldn't use sd->pos, as sd->pos is for file reading,
file->f_pos should be used instead.
