There's a loop there that repeats the filemap_get_pages() until either the
pipe is full or we hit EOF, the same as in filemap_read() (upon which this is
based).
I want to use filemap_get_pages() if I can as that does all the readahead
stuff. What might be nice, though, is if I could tell it to return rather
than waiting for a folio to come uptodate if it has already returned a folio
so that I can push the other side of the splice along whilst the read is in
progress.
