Subject: [PATCH 5.4 01/69] ovl: simplify file splice

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@...hat.com>

commit 82a763e61e2b601309d696d4fa514c77d64ee1be upstream.

generic_file_splice_read() and iter_file_splice_write() will call back into
f_op->iter_read() and f_op->iter_write() respectively.  These already do
the real file lookup and cred override.  So the code in ovl_splice_read()
and ovl_splice_write() is redundant.

In addition the ovl_file_accessed() call in ovl_splice_write() is
incorrect, though probably harmless.

Fix by calling generic_file_splice_read() and iter_file_splice_write()
directly.
