fs/buffer: add some new buffer read helpers
Current ll_rw_block() helper is fragile because it assumes that locked buffer means it's under IO which is submitted by some other who holds the lock, it skip buffer if it failed to get the lock, so it's only safe on the readahead path. Unfortunately, now that most filesystems still use this helper mistakenly on the sync metadata read path. There is no guarantee that the one who holds the buffer lock always submit IO (e.g. buffer_migrate_folio_norefs() after commit 88dbcbb3 ("blkdev: avoid migration stalls for blkdev pages"), it could lead to false positive -EIO when submitting reading IO. This patch add some friendly buffer read helpers to prepare replacing ll_rw_block() and similar calls. We can only call bh_readahead_[] helpers for the readahead paths.
