netfs: zero the tail of a short DIO/unbuffered readgrafted

The buffered read collector zero-fills the tail of a short read that
stops below the inode's i_size (netfs_clear_unread()), so a read that
races an extending write still returns the expected number of bytes.
The non-buffered collector path does no such thing: it just records
how much was transferred.

Add the same zero-fill for the non-buffered case, gated on
NETFS_SREQ_CLEAR_TAIL: a subreq's source sets that flag when a short
result from it is known to be safe to treat as a hole, as opposed to
NETFS_SREQ_HIT_EOF, which means the read genuinely ran off the end of
the file and should be reported short as-is. Only CLEAR_TAIL should
zero-fill here; a real EOF must stay a real short read.

No source currently sets CLEAR_TAIL on an unbuffered/DIO subrequest,
so this is inert on its own -- a following change teaches cifs to set
it in the one case that needs it.

+Low Level Serial API
+====================
+
+
+This document is meant as a brief overview of some aspects of the new serial
+driver.  It is not complete, any questions you have should be directed to
+<rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>
+
+The reference implementation is contained within amba-pl011.c.
+
+
+
+Low Level Serial Hardware Driver
+--------------------------------
+
+The low level serial hardware driver is responsible for supplying port
+information (defined by uart_port) and a set of control methods (defined
+by uart_ops) to the core serial driver.  The low level driver is also
+responsible for handling interrupts for the port, and providing any
+console support.
+
+
+Console Support
+---------------
+
+The serial core provides a few helper functions.  This includes
+decoding command line arguments (uart_parse_options()).
+
+There is also a helper function (uart_console_write()) which performs a
+character by character write, translating newlines to CRLF sequences.
+Driver writers are recommended to use this function rather than implementing
+their own version.
+
+
+Locking
+-------
+
+It is the responsibility of the low level hardware driver to perform the
+necessary locking using port->lock.  There are some exceptions (which
+are described in the struct uart_ops listing below.)
+
+There are two locks.  A per-port spinlock, and an overall semaphore.
+
+From the core driver perspective, the port->lock locks the following
+data::
+
+	port->mctrl
+	port->icount
+	port->state->xmit.head (circ_buf->head)
+	port->state->xmit.tail (circ_buf->tail)
+
+The low level driver is free to use this lock to provide any additional
+locking.
+
+The port_sem semaphore is used to protect against ports being added/
+removed or reconfigured at inappropriate times. Since v2.6.27, this
+semaphore has been the 'mutex' member of the tty_port struct, and
+commonly referred to as the port mutex.

+           uart_try_toggle_sysrq
+
+.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/serial_core.h
+   :identifiers: uart_port_tx_limited uart_port_tx
+
+Other notes
+-----------
+
+It is intended some day to drop the 'unused' entries from uart_port, and
+allow low level drivers to register their own individual uart_port's with
+the core.  This will allow drivers to use uart_port as a pointer to a
+structure containing both the uart_port entry with their own extensions,
+thus::
+
+	struct my_port {
+		struct uart_port	port;
+		int			my_stuff;
+	};
+
+Modem control lines via GPIO

+
+Some helpers are provided in order to set/get modem control lines via GPIO.
