splice: use get_user_pages_fast
Use get_user_pages_fast in splice. This reverts some mmap_sem batching there, however the biggest problem with mmap_sem tends to be hold times blocking out other threads rather than cacheline bouncing. Further: on architectures that implement get_user_pages_fast without locks, mmap_sem can be avoided completely anyway.
