[PATCH 4/5] netfs: Fix copy-to-cache amalgamation

Fix the amalgamation of subrequests when copying to the cache.  We
shouldn't be rounding up the size to PAGE_SIZE as we go along as that ends
up with the composite subrequest length being too long - and this leads to
EIO from the cache write because the source iterator doesn't contain enough
data.

Instead, we only need to deal with contiguous subreqs and then ask the
cache to round off as it needs - which also means we don't have to make any
assumptions about the cache granularity.
