mm/filemap: support readpage splitting a page
For page splitting to succeed, the thread asking to split the page has to be the only one with a reference to the page. Calling wait_on_page_locked() while holding a reference to the page will effectively prevent this from happening with sufficient threads waiting on the same page. Use put_and_wait_on_page_locked() to sleep without holding a reference to the page, then retry the page lookup after the page is unlocked. Since we now get the page lock a little earlier in filemap_update_page(), we can eliminate a number of duplicate checks. The original intent (commit ebded027 ("avoid unnecessary calls to lock_page when waiting for IO to complete during a read")) behind getting the page lock later was to avoid re-locking the page after it has been brought uptodate by another thread. We still avoid that because we go through the normal lookup path again after the winning thread has brought the page uptodate.
