NFS: Convert buffered read paths to use netfs when fscache is enabled

Convert the NFS buffered read code paths to corresponding netfs APIs,
but only when fscache is configured and enabled.

The netfs API defines struct netfs_request_ops which must be filled
in by the network filesystem.  For NFS, we only need to define 5 of
the functions, the main one being the issue_read() function.
The issue_read() function is called by the netfs layer when a read
cannot be fulfilled locally, and must be sent to the server (either
the cache is not active, or it is active but the data is not available).
Once the read from the server is complete, netfs requires a call to
netfs_subreq_terminated() which conveys either how many bytes were read
successfully, or an error.  Note that issue_read() is called with a
structure, netfs_io_subrequest, which defines the IO requested, and
contains a start and a length (both in bytes), and assumes the underlying
netfs will return a either an error on the whole region, or the number
of bytes successfully read.

The NFS IO path is page based and the main APIs are the pgio APIs defined
in pagelist.c.  For the pgio APIs, there is no way for the caller to
know how many RPCs will be sent and how the pages will be broken up
into underlying RPCs, each of which will have their own completion and
return code.  In contrast, netfs is subrequest based, a single
subrequest may contain multiple pages, and a single subrequest is
initiated with issue_read() and terminated with netfs_subreq_terminated().
Thus, to utilze the netfs APIs, NFS needs some way to accommodate
the netfs API requirement on the single response to the whole
subrequest, while also minimizing disruptive changes to the NFS
pgio layer.

The approach taken with this patch is to allocate a small structure
for each nfs_netfs_issue_read() call, store the final error and number
of bytes successfully transferred in the structure, and update these values
as each RPC completes.  The refcount on the structure is used as a marker
for the last RPC completion, is incremented in nfs_netfs_read_initiate(),
and decremented inside nfs_netfs_read_completion(), when a nfs_pgio_header
contains a valid pointer to the data.  On the final put (which signals
the final outstanding RPC is complete) in nfs_netfs_read_completion(),
call netfs_subreq_terminated() with either the final error value (if
one or more READs complete with an error) or the number of bytes
successfully transferred (if all RPCs complete successfully).  Note
that when all RPCs complete successfully, the number of bytes transferred
is capped to the length of the subrequest.  Capping the transferred length
to the subrequest length prevents "Subreq overread" warnings from netfs.
This is due to the "aligned_len" in nfs_pageio_add_page(), and the
corner case where NFS requests a full page at the end of the file,
even when i_size reflects only a partial page (NFS overread).
