Jens Axboe 61d0017e5a mm: don't read i_size of inode unless we need it
We always go through i_size_read(), and we rarely end up needing it.
Push the read to down where we need to check it, which avoids it for
most cases.

It looks like we can even remove this check entirely, which might be
worth pursuing.  But at least this takes it out of the hot path.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
