btrfs: always read the entire extent_buffer
Currently read_extent_buffer_pages skips pages that are already uptodate when reading in an extent_buffer. While this reduces the amount of data read, it increases the number of I/O operations as we now need to do multiple I/Os when reading an extent buffer with one or more uptodate pages in the middle of it. On any modern storage device, be that hard drives or SSDs this actually decreases I/O performance. Fortunately this case is pretty rare as the pages are always initially read together and then aged the same way. Besides simplifying the code a bit as-is this will allow for major simplifications to the I/O completion handler later on. Note that the case where all pages are uptodate is still handled by an optimized fast path that does not read any data from disk.
