Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fs: allow short direct-io reads to be completed via buffered IO

This is similar to what already happens in the write case.  If we have a short
read while doing O_DIRECT, instead of just returning, fallthrough and try to
read the rest via buffered IO.  BTRFS needs this because if we encounter a
compressed or inline extent during DIO, we need to fallback on buffered.  If the
extent is compressed we need to read the entire thing into memory and
de-compress it into the users pages.  I have tested this with fsx and everything
works great.  Thanks,
