Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] fs/splice: add missing callback for inaccessible pages

If a page is inaccesible and it is used for things like sendfile, then
the content of the page is not always touched, and can be passed
directly to a driver, causing issues.

This patch fixes the issue by adding a call to arch_make_page_accessible
in page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm; this fixes the issue.

Fixes: f28d43636d6f ("mm/gup/writeback: add callbacks for inaccessible pages")
