splice: fix generic_file_splice_read() race with page invalidation
If a page was invalidated during splicing from file to a pipe, then
generic_file_splice_read() could return a short or zero count.
This manifested itself in rare I/O errors seen on nfs exported fuse
filesystems. This is because nfsd uses splice_direct_to_actor() to read
files, and fuse uses invalidate_inode_pages2() to invalidate stale data on
open.
Fix by redoing the page find/create if it was found to be truncated
(invalidated).
