Improve the efficiency of buffered reads in a number of ways:
(1) Overhaul the algorithm in general so that it's a lot more compact and
split the read submission code between buffered and unbuffered
versions. The unbuffered version can be vastly simplified.
(2) Read-result collection is handed off to a work queue rather than being
done in the I/O thread. Multiple subrequests can be processes
simultaneously.
(3) When a subrequest is collected, any folios it fully spans are
collected and "spare" data on either side is donated to either the
previous or the next subrequest in the sequence.
Notes:
(*) Readahead expansion is massively slows down fio, presumably because it
causes a load of extra allocations, both folio and xarray, up front
before RPC requests can be transmitted.
(*) RDMA with cifs does appear to work, both with SIW and RXE.
(*) PG_private_2-based reading and copy-to-cache is split out into its own
file and altered to use folio_queue. Note that the copy to the cache
now creates a new write transaction against the cache and adds the
folios to be copied into it. This allows it to use part of the
writeback I/O code.

Instead of inventing a custom way to conditionally enable debugging,
just make use of pr_debug(), which also has dynamic debugging facilities
and is more likely known to someone who hunts a problem in the netfs
code. Also drop the module parameter netfs_debug which didn't have any
effect without further source changes. (The variable netfs_debug was
only used in #ifdef blocks for cpp vars that don't exist; Note that
CONFIG_NETFS_DEBUG isn't settable via kconfig, a variable with that name
never existed in the mainline and is probably just taken over (and
renamed) from similar custom debug logging implementations.)

Fix to take the i_rwsem (through the netfs locking wrappers) before taking
cinode->lock_sem.

Implement support for unbuffered and DIO reads in the netfs library,
utilising the existing read helper code to do block splitting and
individual queuing. The code also handles extraction of the destination
buffer from the supplied iterator, allowing async unbuffered reads to take
place.
The read will be split up according to the rsize setting and, if supplied,
the ->clamp_length() method. Note that the next subrequest will be issued
as soon as issue_op returns, without waiting for previous ones to finish.
The network filesystem needs to pause or handle queuing them if it doesn't
want to fire them all at the server simultaneously.
Once all the subrequests have finished, the state will be assessed and the
amount of data to be indicated as having being obtained will be
determined. As the subrequests may finish in any order, if an intermediate
subrequest is short, any further subrequests may be copied into the buffer
and then abandoned.
In the future, this will also take care of doing an unbuffered read from
encrypted content, with the decryption being done by the library.
