Now that all callers of ->llseek are going through vfs_llseek(), we
don't gain anything by keeping no_llseek around. Nothing compares it or
calls it.

Shouldn't this and the checks for no_llseek simply be merged into patch
2?

No function change, but in general checking for the error condition
in the branch tends to be more readable.  i.e.:

	if (!(file->f_mode & FMODE_LSEEK) || !file->f_op->llseek)
		return -ESPIPE;
	return file->f_op->llseek(file, offset, whence);

I'd done that at first, but Al had suggested it be a separate commit in
<https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YrYxOC5dgCKBHwVE@ZenIV/>, when he mentions
"next commit would", so I did how he asked.

I thought about this kind of reverse: what is the acceptable condition
in which one may call ->llseek? Easier to express it that way than in
the inverse. But if you really want, I can change it around if there's a
v3 with other changes (which at the moment doesn't seem like there's
going to be).
