[PATCH v2] fs/splice: ignore flag SPLICE_F_GIFT in syscall vmsplice

[PATCH v2] fs/splice: ignore flag SPLICE_F_GIFT in syscall vmsplice

[Konstantin Khlebnikov]

Generic support of flag SPLICE_F_MOVE in syscall splice was removed in
kernel 2.6.21 commit 485ddb4b9741 ("1/2 splice: dont steal").
Infrastructure stay intact and this feature may came back.
At least driver or filesystem could provide own implementation.

But stealing mapped pages from userspace never worked and is very
unlikely that will ever make sense due to unmapping overhead.
Also lru handling is broken if gifted anon page spliced into file.

Let's seal entry point for marking page as a gift in vmsplice.

v2: remove PIPE_BUF_FLAG_GIFT and related dead code.
