collapse_file() calls page_cache_sync_readahead() to fault in missing
pages before collapsing them into a THP. That helper takes
mapping->invalidate_lock itself for the duration of the call, then
drops it -- but truncate (e.g. ext4_setattr() -> truncate_pagecache())
takes invalidate_lock and then waits on each page's folio lock while
holding it. If collapse_file() has already locked one of those folios
by the time truncate reaches it, and then tries to acquire
invalidate_lock again (e.g. on the next iteration, or via a nested
readahead call), the two paths can deadlock/hang on each other's lock:
truncate blocked on the folio lock collapse holds, and collapse
blocked waiting for invalidate_lock that truncate holds.

Reproducing this over ~150,000 collapse iterations with truncate
racing concurrently reliably hits hung_task: blocked tasks within
about 20 seconds on an unpatched kernel.

Fix it by taking invalidate_lock_shared once for the whole scan, before
locking any folio, and using page_cache_ra_unbounded() directly in the
readahead call site instead of page_cache_sync_readahead(), since the
latter would try to retake the lock we already hold.
page_cache_ra_unbounded() does not clamp to EOF like the helper it
replaces, so clamp the requested range explicitly.
