splice: always fsnotify_access(in), fsnotify_modify(out) on success

The current behaviour caused an asymmetry where some write APIs
(write, sendfile) would notify the written-to/read-from objects,
but splice wouldn't.

This affected userspace which uses inotify, most notably coreutils
tail -f, to monitor pipes.
If the pipe buffer had been filled by a splice-family function:
  * tail wouldn't know and thus wouldn't service the pipe, and
  * all writes to the pipe would block because it's full,
thus service was denied.
(For the particular case of tail -f this could be worked around
 with ---disable-inotify.)
