[Linux-cachefs] [RFC PATCH] ceph: fix write_begin optimization when write is beyond EOF

It's not sufficient to skip reading when the pos is beyond the EOF.
There may be data at the head of the page that we need to fill in
before the write. Only elide the read if the pos is beyond the last page
in the file.

I've not tested this at all yet, but I think this is probably what we'll
want for stable series v5.10.z - v5.12.z.
