splice: introduce FMODE_SPLICE_READ and FMODE_SPLICE_WRITE
Introduce FMODE_SPLICE_READ and FMODE_SPLICE_WRITE. These modes check whether it is legal to read or write a file using splice. Both get automatically set on regular files and are not checked when a 'struct fileoperations' includes the splice_{read,write} methods.
