Subject: getting rid of ->splice_write?

Currently only /dev/null, fusedev and the socket code have a
splice_write implementation that isn't iter_file_splice_write, and
it seems like these three could easily be switched over if they
implemented a ->write_iter.

Similarly it seems to be like we could kill ->splice_read by
implementing an equivalent iteration over ->read_iter.
