We've had a few application cases of not handling short reads properly, and it is understandable as short reads aren't really expected if the application isn't doing non-blocking IO. Now that we retain the iov_iter over retries, we can implement internal retry pretty trivially. This ensures that we don't return a short read, even for buffered reads on page cache conflicts. Cleanup the deep nesting and hard to read nature of io_read() as well, it's much more straight forward now to read and understand. Added a few comments explaining the logic as well.

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 Restructured Text 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.
