splice: use get_user_pages_fast 

Use get_user_pages_fast in splice.  This reverts some mmap_sem batching
there, however the biggest problem with mmap_sem tends to be hold times
blocking out other threads rather than cacheline bouncing.  Further: on
architectures that implement get_user_pages_fast without locks, mmap_sem
can be avoided completely anyway.
