Subject: [PATCH v18 04/15] overlayfs: Implement splice-read

Implement splice-read for overlayfs by passing the request down a layer
rather than going through generic_file_splice_read() which is going to be
changed to assume that ->read_folio() is present on buffered files.

Notes:
    ver #17)
     - Use vfs_splice_read() helper rather than open-coding checks.
    
    ver #15)
     - Remove redundant FMODE_CAN_ODIRECT check on real file.
     - Do rw_verify_area() on the real file, not the overlay file.
     - Fix a file leak.
