splice: don't read more than available pipe space

In commit 4721a601099, we tried to fix a problem wherein directio reads
into a splice pipe will bounce EFAULT/EAGAIN all the way out to
userspace by simulating a zero-byte short read.  This happens because
some directio read implementations (xfs) will call
bio_iov_iter_get_pages to grab pipe buffer pages and issue asynchronous
reads, but as soon as we run out of pipe buffers that _get_pages call
returns EFAULT, which the splice code translates to EAGAIN and bounces
out to userspace.

In that commit, the iomap code catches the EFAULT and simulates a
zero-byte read, but that causes assertion errors on regular splice reads
because xfs doesn't allow short directio reads.

The brokenness is compounded by splice_direct_to_actor immediately
bailing on do_splice_to returning <= 0 without ever calling ->actor
(which empties out the pipe), so if userspace calls back we'll EFAULT
again on the full pipe, and nothing ever gets copied.

Therefore, teach splice_direct_to_actor to clamp its requests to the
amount of free space in the pipe and remove the simulated short read
from the iomap directio code.
