    splice: Fix filemap_splice_read() to use the correct inode
    
    [ Upstream commit c37222082f23c456664d1c3182a714670ab8f9a4 ]
    
    Fix filemap_splice_read() to use file->f_mapping->host, not file->f_inode,
    as the source of the file size because in the case of a block device,
    file->f_inode points to the block-special file (which is typically 0
    length) and not the backing store.
    
    Fixes: 07073eb01c5f ("splice: Add a func to do a splice from a buffered file without ITER_PIPE")
