generic_file_splice_read() and iter_file_splice_write() will call back into f_op->iter_read() and f_op->iter_write() respectively. These already do the real file lookup and cred override. So the code in ovl_splice_read() and ovl_splice_write() is redundant. In addition the ovl_file_accessed() call in ovl_splice_write() is incorrect, though probably harmless. Fix by calling generic_file_splice_read() and iter_file_splice_write() directly.
