afs: Make read subreqs async
Perform AFS read subrequests in a work item rather than in the calling
thread.  For normal buffered reads, this will allow the calling thread to
copy data from the pagecache to the application at the same time as the
demarshalling thread is shovelling data from skbuffs into the pagecache.

This will also allow the RA mark to trigger a new read before we've
finished shovelling the data from the current one.

Note: This would be a bit safer if the FS.FetchData RPC ops returned the
metadata (including the data version number) before returning the data.
This would allow me to flush the pagecache before installing the new data.

In future, it may be possible to asynchronously flush the pagecache either
side of the region being read.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
