NFSD: Clean up nfsd_splice_actor()
[ Upstream commit 91e23b1c39820bfed642119ff6b6ef9f43cf09ce ]
nfsd_splice_actor() checks that the page being spliced does not
match the previous element in the svc_rqst::rq_pages array. We
believe this is to prevent a double put_page() in cases where the
READ payload is partially contained in the xdr_buf's head buffer.
However, the NFSD READ proc functions no longer place any part of
the READ payload in the head buffer, in order to properly support
NFS/RDMA READ with Write chunks. Therefore, simplify the logic in
nfsd_splice_actor() to remove this unnecessary check.
