netfs: Fix collection of results during pause when collection offloaded
A netfs read request can run in one of two modes: for synchronous reads writes, the app thread does the collection of results and for asynchronous reads, this is offloaded to a worker thread. This is controlled by the NETFS_RREQ_OFFLOAD_COLLECTION flag. Now, if a subrequest incurs an error, the NETFS_RREQ_PAUSE flag is set to stop the issuing loop temporarily from issuing more subrequests until a retry is successful or the request is abandoned. When the issuing loop sees NETFS_RREQ_PAUSE, it jumps to netfs_wait_for_pause() which will wait for the PAUSE flag to be cleared - and whilst it is waiting, it will call out to the collector as more results acrue... But this is the wrong thing to do if OFFLOAD_COLLECTION is set as we can then end up with both the app thread and the work item collecting results simultaneously. This manifests itself occasionally when running the generic/323 xfstest against multichannel cifs as an oops that's a bit random but frequently involving io_submit() (the test does lots of simultaneous async DIO reads). Fix this by only doing the collection in netfs_wait_for_pause() if the NETFS_RREQ_OFFLOAD_COLLECTION is not set.
