splice: fix direct splice error handling
This is a splice patch for 2.6.22 and 2.6.21 (and earlier, I did not
check. Let me know if you still maintain older stable trees!). It fixes
an infinite loop in do_splice_direct(), when there's either nothing to
read or nothing to write and blocking doesn't help. It could be things
like running out of disk space. We need to exit both for failure and
zero return, or we could be going around forever.
This got fixed in 2.6.23-git with commit 51a92c0f6ce8fa85fa0e18ecda1d847e606e8066
Herbert Poetzl <herbert@13thfloor.at> noticed this bug in 2.6.22, and
has verified that this minimal fix works.
