Under some circumstances, filemap_read() will allocate sufficient pages to read to the end of the file, call readahead/readpages on them and copy the data over - and then it will allocate another page at the EOF and call readpage on that and then ignore it. This is unnecessary and a waste of time and resources. filemap_read() *does* check for this, but only after it has already done the allocation and I/O. Fix this by checking before calling filemap_get_pages() also.
