Subject: [PATCH 2/2] gfs2: Rework read and page fault locking

The cache consistency model of filesystems like gfs2 is such that if
data is found in the page cache, the data is up to date and can be used
without taking any filesystem locks.  If a page is not cached,
filesystem locks must be taken before populating the page cache.

Thus far,  gfs2 has taken the filesystem locks inside the ->readpage and
->readpages address space operations.  This was already causing lock
ordering problems, but commit d4388340ae0b ("fs: convert mpage_readpages
to mpage_readahead") made things worse: the ->readahead operation is
called with the pages to readahead locked, so grabbing the inode's glock
can now deadlock with processes which are holding the inode glock while
trying to lock the same pages.

Fix this by taking the inode glock in the ->read_iter file and ->fault
vm operations.  To avoid taking the inode glock when the data is already
cached, the ->read_iter file operation first tries to read the data with
the IOCB_CACHED flag set.  If that fails, the inode glock is locked and
the operation is repeated without the IOCB_CACHED flag.
