    Linux 4.4: Do not use splice()
    
    splice() may return -ERESTARTSYS if there are pending signals, and
    it's not even clear how this should be dealt with. This potential
    problem has been present for a long time, but as of Linux 4.4
    (commit c725bfce7968009756ed2836a8cd7ba4dc163011) seems much more
    likely to happen.
    
    Until resources are available to fix the code to handle such errors,
    avoid the riskier uses of splice().
    
    If there is a default implementation of file_splice_{write,read},
    use that; on somewhat older kernels where it is not available,
    use the generic version instead.
