nfs: add support for splice writes

Adds support for splice writes. It effectively calls generic_file_splice_write() to do the writes.

We need not worry about O_APPEND case as the combination of splice() writes and O_APPEND is disallowed. This patch propagates NFS write errors back to the caller. The number of bytes written via splice are being added to NFSIO_NORMALWRITTENBYTES as these are effectively cached writes.
