Subject: [PATCH v21 29/30] splice: Remove generic_file_splice_read()

Remove generic_file_splice_read() as it has been replaced with calls to
filemap_splice_read() and copy_splice_read().

With this, ITER_PIPE is no longer used.

Notes:
    ver #21)
     - Move zero-len check to vfs_splice_read().
     - Move s_maxbytes check to filemap_splice_read().
     - DIO (and DAX) are handled by vfs_splice_read().
    
    ver #20)
     - Use s_maxbytes from the backing store (in->f_mapping), not the front
       inode (especially for a blockdev).
    
    ver #18)
     - Split out the change to cifs to make it use generic_file_splice_read().
     - Split out the unexport of filemap_splice_read() (still needed by cifs).
