[Linux-cachefs] [PATCH v4] ceph: fix write_begin optimization when write is beyond EOF

[Jeff Layton]

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.

Add a new helper function that corrects and clarifies the logic.
