netfs, afs: Fix symlink reading

Browse source

Fix the reading of symlinks from the cache in afs by making netfslib trim
the amount read down to i_size.  The problem is that afs sets the size of
the iterator to the size of the buffer (PAGE_SIZE) so that the cache can
round the read size up to the cache's DIO size.

Note that this also impacts the reading of AFS mountpoints as they're just
stored as symlinks with an odd file mode.
