btrfs: do away with non-whole_page extent I/O end_bio_extent_readpage computes whole_page based on bv_offset and bv_len, without taking into account that blk_update_request may modify them when some of the blocks to be read into a page produce a read error. This would cause the read to unlock only part of the file range associated with the page, which would in turn leave the entire page locked, which would not only keep the process blocked instead of returning -EIO to it, but also prevent any further access to the file. It turns out that btrfs always issues whole-page reads and writes. The special handling of non-whole_page appears to be a mistake or a left-over from a time when this wasn't the case. Indeed, end_bio_extent_writepage distinguished between whole_page and non-whole_page writes but behaved identically in both cases! I've replaced the whole_page computations with warnings, just to be sure that we're not issuing partial page reads or writes. The warnings should probably just go away some time.
