1. Linux 4.14 compat: vfs_read/vfs_write unexported …

   kernel_read/kernel_write have always wrapped vfs_read/vfs_write,
   respectively, with a safety net around casting to user pointers too.
   kernel_read was always exported, going back to Linux's very first git
   check-in. kernel_write was exported in 3.9.
   
   Linux 4.14 unexported vfs_read & vfs_write, after replacing all modular
   calls to these functions with kernel_read & kernel_write, respectively.
   
   Linux 4.14 also changed the signatures of kernel_read & kernel_write to
   more closely match vfs_read & vfs_write.
