fs: use do_splice_direct() for nfsd/ksmbd server-side-copy
nfsd/ksmbd call vfs_copy_file_range() with flag COPY_FILE_SPLICE to perform kernel copy between two files on any two filesystems. Splicing input file, while holding file_start_write() on the output file which is on a different sb, posses a risk for fanotify related deadlocks. We only need to call splice_file_range() from within the context of ->copy_file_range() filesystem methods with file_start_write() held. To avoid the possible deadlocks, always use do_splice_direct() instead of splice_file_range() for the kernel copy fallback in vfs_copy_file_range() without holding file_start_write().
