ocfs2: Wrap virtual block reads in ocfs2_read_virt_blocks()
The ocfs2_read_dir_block() function really maps an inode's virtual blocks to physical ones before calling ocfs2_read_blocks(). Let's extract that to common code, because other places might want to do that. Other than the block number being virtual, ocfs2_read_virt_blocks() takes the same arguments as ocfs2_read_blocks(). It converts those virtual block numbers to physical before calling ocfs2_read_blocks() directly. If the blocks asked for are discontiguous, this can mean multiple calls to ocfs2_read_blocks(), but this is mostly hidden from the caller. Like ocfs2_read_blocks(), the caller can pass in an existing buffer_head. This is usually done to pick up some readahead I/O. ocfs2_read_virt_blocks() checks the buffer_head's block number against the extent map - it must match.
