Btrfs: force a page fault if we have a shorty copy on a page boundary
A user reported a problem where ceph was getting into 100% cpu usage while doing some writing. It turns out it's because we were doing a short write on a not uptodate page, which means we'd fall back at one page at a time and fault the page in. The problem is our position is on the page boundary, so our fault in logic wasn't actually reading the page, so we'd just spin forever or until the page got read in by somebody else. This will force a readpage if we end up doing a short copy. Alexandre could reproduce this easily with ceph and reports it fixes his problem. I also wrote a reproducer that no longer hangs my box with this patch.
