splice: remove detritus from generic_file_splice_read()
i_size check is a leftover from the horrors that used to play with the page cache in that function. With the switch to ->read_iter(), it's neither needed nor correct - for gfs2 it ends up being buggy, since i_size is not guaranteed to be correct until later (inside ->read_iter()).
