[PATCH 15/27] afs: Fix AFS read bug

Fix a bug in AFS read whereby the request page afs_read::index isn't
incremented after calling ->page_done() if ->remain reaches 0, indicating
that the data read is complete.

Without this a NULL pointer exception happens when ->page_done() is called
twice for the last page because the page clearing loop will call it also
and afs_readpages_page_done() clears the current entry in the page list.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at           (null)
