Subject: [PATCHSET 0/2] Fix splice from random/urandom

Hi,

We recently had a failure on a kernel upgrade because splice no longer
works on random/urandom. This is due to:

6e2c7421f02 ("fs: don't allow splice read/write without explicit ops")

which already has more than two handful of Fixes registered to its
name...

Wire up read_iter handling and then hook up splice_read for both of
them as well.
