splice: fix kmaps in default_file_splice_write()
Unfortunately multiple kmap() within a single thread are deadlockable, so writing out multiple buffers with writev() isn't possible. Change the implementation so that it does a separate write() for each buffer. This actually simplifies the code a lot since the splice_from_pipe() helper can be used. This limitation is caused by HIGHMEM pages, and so only affects a subset of architectures and configurations. In the future it may be worth to implement default_file_splice_write() in a more efficient way on configs that allow it.
