[PATCH 07/45] fs: add do_vmsplice() helper; remove in-kernel call to syscall

[Dominik Brodowski]

Using the fs-internal do_vmsplice() helper allows us to get rid of the
fs-internal call to the sys_vmsplice() syscall.

This patch is part of a series which tries to remove in-kernel calls to
syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
