splice: divorce the splice structure/function definitions from the pipe header
We need to move even more stuff into the header so that folks can use the splice_to_pipe() implementation instead of open-coding a lot of pipe knowledge (see relay implementation), so move to our own header file finally. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
