Add filemap_get_read_batch() which returns the head pages which represent a contiguous array of bytes in the file. It also stops when encountering a page marked as Readahead or !Uptodate (but does return that page) so it can be handled appropriately by filemap_get_pages(). That lets us remove the loop in filemap_get_pages() and check only the last page.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
