ext4: introduce new metadata buffer read helpers
The previous patch add clear_buffer_verified() before we read metadata block from disk again, but it's rather easy to miss clearing of this bit because currently we read metadata buffer through different open codes (e.g. ll_rw_block(), bh_submit_read() and invoke submit_bh() directly). So, it's time to add common helpers to unify in all the places reading metadata buffers instead. This patch add 3 helpers: - ext4_read_bh_nowait(): async read metadata buffer if it's actually not uptodate, clear buffer_verified bit before read from disk. - ext4_read_bh(): sync version of read metadata buffer, it will wait until the read operation return and check the return status. - ext4_read_bh_lock(): try to lock the buffer before read buffer, it will skip reading if the buffer is already locked. After this patch, we need to use these helpers in all the places reading metadata buffer instead of different open codes.
