splice: implement default splice_read method

If f_op->splice_read() is not implemented, fall back to a plain read.
Use vfs_readv() to read into previously allocated pages.

This will allow splice and functions using splice, such as the loop
device, to work on all filesystems.  This includes "direct_io" files
in fuse which bypass the page cache.
