When a filesystem has inlined data feature enabled, the ->read_folio()
callback will need to check if the read is being done within the range where
the inline data actually is. Since the inline data can only occur on the
first page, this verification is done by checking if the folio index is
zero.
However, if the index isn't zero, this callback is also zero'ing the folio,
effectively wiping the data that was there. This is a bug reported in the
link bellow, and the reproducer described there can easily trigger it in a
filesystem created with inline_data and a small block size (e.g. 1024).
This patch fixes this issue by falling back to a regular readpages when the
folio index isn't zero.
