[PATCH] splice: improve writeback and clean up page stealing

By cleaning up the writeback logic (killing write_one_page() and the manual
set_page_dirty()), we can get rid of ->stolen inside the pipe_buffer and
just keep it local in pipe_to_file().

This also adds dirty page balancing logic and O_SYNC handling.
