[RFC PATCH 0/6] ceph: convert buffered read codepaths to new netfs API

[Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>]

This patchset coverts ceph to use the new netfs API that David Howells
has proposed [1]. It's a substantial reduction in code in the ceph layer
itself, but the main impetus is to allow the VM, filesystem and fscache
to better work together to optimize readahead on network filesystems.

I think the resulting code is also easier to understand, and should be
more maintainable as a lot of the pagecache handling is now done at the
netfs layer.

This has been lightly tested with xfstests. With fscache disabled, I saw
no regressions. With fscache enabled, I still hit some bugs down in the
fscache layer itself, but those seem to be present without this set as
well. This doesn't seem to make any of that worse.
