[XFS] Fix memory corruption with small buffer reads

When we have multiple buffers in a single page for a blocksize == pagesize
filesystem we might overwrite the page contents if two callers hit it
shortly after each other. To prevent that we need to keep the page locked
until I/O is completed and the page marked uptodate.

Thanks to Eric Sandeen for triaging this bug and finding a reproducible
testcase and Dave Chinner for additional advice.

This should fix kernel.org bz #10421.
