block: read i_size with i_size_read()
Convert direct reads of an inode's i_size to using i_size_read().
i_size_{read,write} use a seqcount to protect reads from accessing
incomple writes. Concurrent i_size_write()s require mutual exclussion
to protect the seqcount that is used by i_size_{read,write}. But
i_size_read() callers do not need to use additional locking.
