Subject: [PATCH v6 2/7] fs: moved kernel_write to fs/read_write

kernel_write shares infrastructure with the read_write translation unit but not
with the splice translation unit. Grouping kernel_write with the read_write
translation unit is more logical. It also paves the way to compiling out the
splice group of syscalls for embedded systems that do not need them.
