[PATCH v2 2/8] fs: btrfs: fix a bug which no data get read if the length is not 0

[BUG]
When testing with unaligned read, if a specific length is passed in,
btrfs driver will read out nothing:

 => load host 0 $kernel_addr_r 5k_file 0x1000 0
 0 bytes read in 0 ms

But if no length is passed in, it works fine, even if we pass a non-zero
length:

 => load host 0 $kernel_addr_r 5k_file 0 0x1000
 1024 bytes read in 0 ms

[CAUSE]
In btrfs_read() if we have a larger size than our file, we will try to
truncate it using the file size.

However the real file size is not initialized if @len is not zero, thus
we always truncate our length to 0, and cause the problem.

[FIX]
Fix it by just always do the file size check.

In fact btrfs_size() always follow soft link, thus it will return the
real file size correctly.
