This is going to break Andreas' case that he just patched to work.
GFS2 needs for there to _not_ be an iop for inline data.  That's
why I said we need to sort out when to create an iop before moving
the IOMAP_INLINE case below the creation of the iop.

If we're not going to do that first, then I recommend leaving the
IOMAP_INLINE case where it is and changing it to ...

	if (iomap->type == IOMAP_INLINE)
		return iomap_read_inline_data(inode, page, iomap, pos);

... and have iomap_read_inline_data() return the number of bytes that
it copied + zeroed (ie PAGE_SIZE - poff).
