btrfs: Exploit the fact that pages passed to extent_readpages are always contiguous
Currently extent_readpages (called from btrfs_readpages) will always call __extent_readpages which tries to create contiguous range of pages and call __do_contiguous_readpages when such contiguous range is created. It turns out this is unnecessary due to the fact that generic MM code always calls filesystem's ->readpages callback (btrfs_readpages in this case) with already contiguous pages. Armed with this knowledge it's possible to simplify extent_readpages by eliminating the call to __extent_readpages and directly calling contiguous_readpages. The only edge case that needs to be handled is when add_to_page_cache_lru fails. This is easy as all that is needed is to submit whatever is the number of pages successfully added to the lru. This can happen when the page is already in the range, so it does not need to be read again, and we can't do anything else in case of other errors.
