    fread: improve performance for unbuffered reads
    
    We can use the buffer passed to fread(3) directly in the FILE *.
    The buffer needs to be reset before each call to __srefill().
    This preserves the expected behavior in all cases.
    
    The change was found originally in OpenBSD and later adopted by NetBSD.
    
    MFC after:      2 weeks
    Obtained from:  OpenBSD (CVS 1.18)
