1/2 splice: dont steal
Stealing pages with splice is problematic because we cannot just insert
an uptodate page into the pagecache and hope the filesystem can take care
of it later.
We also cannot just ClearPageUptodate, then hope prepare_write does not
write anything into the page, because I don't think prepare_write gives
that guarantee.
Remove support for SPLICE_F_MOVE for now. If we really want to bring it
back, we might be able to do so with a the new filesystem buffered write
aops APIs I'm working on. If we really don't want to bring it back, then
we should decide that sooner rather than later, and remove the flag and
all the stealing infrastructure before anybody starts using it.
