commit 827a746f405d upstream.

It's not sufficient to skip reading when the pos is beyond the EOF.
There may be data at the head of the page that we need to fill in
before the write.

Add a new helper function that corrects and clarifies the logic of
when we can skip reads, and have it only zero out the part of the page
that won't have data copied in for the write.

This bug was originally in ceph, and then got replicated in the new
netfs helper code in v5.13. This patch is a backport of the netfs patch
for ceph. It should be applied to 5.10.y - 5.12.y.
