splice: Add a func to do a splice from a buffered file without ITER_PIPE
Provide a function to do splice read from a buffered file, pulling the folios out of the pagecache directly by calling filemap_get_pages() to do any required reading and then pasting the returned folios into the pipe. A helper function is provided to do the actual folio pasting and will handle multipage folios by splicing as many of the relevant subpages as will fit into the pipe. The code is loosely based on filemap_read() and might belong in mm/filemap.c with that as it needs to use filemap_get_pages().
