How about the attached? I won't fold it down for the moment, but it could be

splice: Clean up direct_splice_read() a bit

Do a couple of cleanups to direct_splice_read():

(1) Cast to struct page **, not void *.

(2) Simplify the calculation of the number of pages to keep/reclaim in
direct_splice_read().
