splice: remove permission hook from do_splice_direct()



All callers of do_splice_direct() have a call to rw_verify_area() for
the entire range that is being copied, e.g. by vfs_copy_file_range() or
do_sendfile() before calling do_splice_direct().

The rw_verify_area() check inside do_splice_direct() is redundant and
is called after sb_start_write(), so it is not "start-write-safe".
Remove this redundant check.

This is needed for fanotify "pre content" events.
