Subject: [RFC 3/4] gfs2: Rework read and page fault locking

So far, gfs2 has taken the filesystem locks inside the ->readpage and
->readahead address space operations.  These operations are too
low-level, causing lock ordering problems and workarounds.  To get rid
of those, move the locking to the ->read_iter file and ->fault vm
operations.

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.

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_NOIO flag set.  If that fails, the inode glock is taken and the
operation is repeated with the IOCB_NOIO flag cleared.
