shmem: convert to using splice instead of sendfile()

Browse source 
Remove shmem_file_sendfile and resurrect shmem_readpage, as used by tmpfs
to support loop and sendfile in 2.4 and 2.5.  Now tmpfs can support splice,
loop and sendfile in the simplest way, using generic_file_splice_read and
generic_file_splice_write (with the aid of shmem_prepare_write).

We could make some efficiency tweaks later, if there's a real need;
but this is stable and works well as is.
