[PATCH v5 15/24] netfs: Fix read-gaps to remove netfs_folio from filled folio

Fix netfs_read_gaps() to remove the netfs_folio record from the folio
record before marking the folio uptodate if it successfully fills the gaps
around the dirty data in a streaming write folio (dirty, but not uptodate).

Found with:

    fsx -q -N 1000000 -p 10000 -o 128000 -l 600000 \
        /xfstest.test/junk --replay-ops=junk.fsxops

using the following as junk.fsxops:

    truncate 0x0 0x138b1 0x8b15d *
    write 0x507ee 0x10df7 0x927c0
    write 0x19993 0x10e04 0x927c0 *
    mapwrite 0x66214 0x1a253 0x927c0
    copy_range 0xb704 0x89b9 0x24429 0x79380
    write 0x2402b 0x144a2 0x90660 *
    mapwrite 0x204d5 0x140a0 0x927c0 *
    copy_range 0x1f72c 0x137d0 0x7a906 0x927c0 *
    read 0 0x9157c 0x9157c

on cifs with the default cache option.

It shows folio 0x24 misbehaving if the FMODE_READ check is commented out in
netfs_perform_write():

                if (//(file->f_mode & FMODE_READ) ||
                    netfs_is_cache_enabled(ctx)) {

and no fscache.  This was initially found with the generic/522 xfstest.
