We queue up inodes to be defrag'ed asynchronously, which means we do not
have their original file for readahead. This means that the code to
skip readahead on pre-content watched files will not run, and we could
potentially read in empty pages.
Handle this corner case by disabling defrag on files that are currently
being watched for pre-content events.
