Yep. As long as you read some data, the helper will call you again if you
didn't read everything. subreq->transferred keeps track of what has been read
so far. You can also tell the helper just to clear the rest by setting
NETFS_SREQ_CLEAR_TAIL.
The helper tries to hide the pages from you as far as possible. Using
ITER_XARRAY hides that even more.
