[PATCH 1/3] filemap: kill page_cache_read usage in filemap_fault

[Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com>]

If we do not have a page at filemap_fault time we'll do this weird
forced page_cache_read thing to populate the page, and then drop it
again and loop around and find it.  This makes for 2 ways we can read a
page in filemap_fault, and it's not really needed.  Instead add a
FGP_FOR_MMAP flag so that pagecache_get_page() will return a unlocked
page that's in pagecache.  Then use the normal page locking and readpage
logic already in filemap_fault.  This simplifies the no page in page
cache case significantly.
