Revalidate read/write permissions for splice(2) and vmslice(2), in case 
security policy has changed since the files were opened.

Please review.  Note that this brings the splice code into line with other
mechanisms for reading and writing files, where an LSM check is made on   
open, then revalidated on read or write as a form of partial revocation.
