[PATCH] afs: afs_fill_page reads too much, or wrong data

afs_fill_page should read the page that is about to be written but
the current implementation has a number of issues. If we aren't
extending the file we always read PAGE_CACHE_SIZE at offset 0. If we
are extending the file we try to read the entire file.

Change afs_fill_page to read PAGE_CACHE_SIZE at the right offset,
clamped to i_size.

While here, avoid calling afs_fill_page when we are doing a 
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE write.
