Subject: staging: lustre: llite: don't invoke direct_IO for the EOF case

From: Yang Sheng <yang.sheng@intel.com>


[ Upstream commit 77759771fb95420d23876cb104ab65c022613325 ]

The function generic_file_read_iter() does not check EOF
before invoke direct_IO callback. So we have to check it
ourselves.
