Subject: switch in-kernel read/write calls to kernel_read/write

Hi all,

this series moves almost all kernel callers of vfs_read/write and
friends to the kernel_read/write family that includes the set_fs calls
inside the called routines.  The exceptions are the integrity code
(Mimi has a pending series for that one) and the splice readv code
which doesn't fit those helpers.  But at least no modular users
are left.
