Subject: [PATCH] mm: remove read_cache_page_async

This patch removes read_cache_page_async() which wasn't really needed anywhere
and simplifies the code around it a bit.

read_cache_page_async() is useful when we want to read a page into the cache
without waiting for it to complete. This happens when the appropriate callback
'filler' doesn't complete it's read operation and releases the page lock
immediately, and instead queues a different completion routine to do that.
This never actually happened anywhere in the code.

read_cache_page_async() had 3 different callers:

 - read_cache_page() which is the sync version, it would just wait for
the requested read to complete using wait_on_page_read().
 - JFFS2 would call it from jffs2_gc_fetch_page(), but the filler function
it supplied doesn't do any async reads, and would complete before the
filler function returns - making it actually a sync read.
 - CRAMFS would call it using the read_mapping_page_async() wrapper, with
a similar story to JFFS2 - the filler function doesn't do anything that
reminds async reads and would always complete before the filler function
returns.

To sum it up, the code in mm/filemap.c never took advantage of having
read_cache_page_async(). While there are filler callbacks that do async
reads (such as the block one), we always called it with the read_cache_page().

This patch adds a mandatory wait for read to complete when adding a new
page to the cache, and removes read_cache_page_async() and it's wrappers.
