This allows splicing zeroed pages into a pipe, and allows discarding
pages from a pipe by splicing them to /dev/zero.  Writing to /dev/zero
should have the same effect as writing to /dev/null, and a
"splice_write" implementation exists only for /dev/null.

(The /dev/zero splice_read implementation could be optimized by
pushing references to the global zero page to the pipe, but that's an
optimization for another day.)
