Honestly, the entire implementation of the splice code for me was very
confusing. Not much documentation on it, so I just looked at what
others did and tried my best to copy them, bugs and all ;-)

I applied this and ran it through my suite of trace-cmd tests which
uses the splice code quite heavily, and it didn't trigger any bugs.
I don't see anything wrong with this patch, so I'll pull it and run it
through the rest of my tests.
Thanks!
