Allow generic_file_buffered_read to bail out early instead of waiting for
the page lock or reading a page if IOCB_NOWAIT is specified.

Hum, we have:

                if (!PageUptodate(page)) {
                        /*
                         * See comment in do_read_cache_page on why

                        if (PageUptodate(page))
                                goto page_ok;

And wait_on_page_locked_killable() above does not seem to be handled in
your patch. I would just check IOCB_NOWAIT in !PageUptodate(page) branch
above and bail - which also removes the need for the two checks below...
