mm: shmem: update iocb->ki_pos directly to simplify tmpfs read logic

Patch series "Improve the tmpfs large folio read performance", v2.

tmpfs already supports PMD-sized large folios, but the tmpfs read
operation still performs copying at PAGE_SIZE granularity, which is not
perfect.  This patchset changes tmpfs to copy data at the folio
granularity, which can improve the read performance.

Use 'fio bs=64k' to read a 1G tmpfs file populated with 2M THPs, and I can
see about 20% performance improvement, and no regression with bs=4k.  I
also did some functional testing with the xfstests suite, and I did not
find any regressions with the following xfstests config:

  FSTYP=tmpfs
  export TEST_DIR=/mnt/tempfs_mnt
  export TEST_DEV=/mnt/tempfs_mnt
  export SCRATCH_MNT=/mnt/scratchdir
  export SCRATCH_DEV=/mnt/scratchdir


This patch (of 2):

Using iocb->ki_pos to check if the read bytes exceeds the file size and to
calculate the bytes to be read can help simplify the code logic. 
Meanwhile, this is also a preparation for improving tmpfs large folios
read performance in the following patch.
