Make a read splice from a DAX file go directly to copy_splice_read() to do
the reading as filemap_splice_read() is unlikely to find any pagecache to
splice.
I think this affects only erofs, Ext2, Ext4, fuse and XFS.

Notes:
ver #21)
- Don't need #ifdef CONFIG_FS_DAX as IS_DAX() is false if !CONFIG_FS_DAX.
- Needs to be in vfs_splice_read(), not generic_file_splice_read().
