[PATCH v2 3/8] fs: btrfs: fix a crash if specified range is beyond file size

[BUG]
When try to read a range beyond file size, btrfs driver will cause
crash/segfault:

 => load host 0 $kernel_addr_r 5k_file 0 0x2000
 SEGFAULT

[CAUSE]
In btrfs_read(), if @len is 0, we will truncated it to file end, but if
file end is beyond our file size, this truncation will underflow @len,
making it -3K in this case.

And later that @len is used to memzero the output buffer, resulting
above crash.

[FIX]
Just error out if @offset is already beyond our file size.

Now it will fail properly with correct error message:

 => load host 0 $kernel_addr_r 5m_origin 0 0x2000
 BTRFS: Read range beyond file size, offset 8192 file size 5120

 Failed to load '5m_origin'
