Unfortunately multiple kmap() within a single thread are deadlockable,
so writing out multiple buffers with writev() isn't possible.

Change the implementation so that it does a separate write() for each
buffer.  This actually simplifies the code a lot since the
splice_from_pipe() helper can be used.

This limitation is caused by HIGHMEM pages, and so only affects a
subset of architectures and configurations.  In the future it may be
worth to implement default_file_splice_write() in a more efficient way
on configs that allow it.
