io_uring: internally retry short reads
We've had a few application cases of not handling short reads properly,
and it is understandable as short reads aren't really expected if the
application isn't doing non-blocking IO.
Now that we retain the iov_iter over retries, we can implement internal
retry pretty trivially. This ensures that we don't return a short read,
even for buffered reads on page cache conflicts.
Cleanup the deep nesting and hard to read nature of io_read() as well,
it's much more straight forward now to read and understand. Added a
few comments explaining the logic as well.
