[PATCH 1/1] splice: Reduce stack usage by reducing structure partial_page

[Maninder Singh]

u16 can be used to store Page offset and page len for partial page
for page size upto 65K. page size is fixed at compilation time so
size of partial page can be reduced to reduce stack usage of functions
using partial_page structure on stack.

<subbuf_splice_actor>:
       e16d42f4        strd    r4, [sp, #-36]! ; 0xffffffdc
...
       e24ddf4d        sub     sp, sp, #308    ; 0x134

<tracing_splice_read_pipe>:
       e16d42f4        strd    r4, [sp, #-36]! ; 0xffffffdc
...
       e24ddf53        sub     sp, sp, #332    ; 0x14c
