Add a new mount option that has the client issue sparse reads instead of normal ones. The callers now preallocate an sparse extent buffer that the libceph receive code can populate and hand back after the operation completes. After a successful sparse read, we can't use the req->r_result value to determine the amount of data "read", so instead we set the received length to be from the end of the last extent in the buffer. Any interstitial holes will have been filled by the receive code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
