See below; you shouldn't need this or similar patches for most
filesystems at all.

You can just define iter_file_splice_write as NULL when configuring out
splice. You could almost do the same for generic_file_splice_read, but
a couple of implementations of filesystem-specific splice functions
actually call it; you can make it a no-op static inline, though.
