vfs,mm: fix return value of read() at s_maxbytes 

We truncated the possible read iterator to s_maxbytes in commit
c2a9737f45 ("vfs,mm: fix a dead loop in truncate_inode_pages_range()"),
but our end condition handling was wrong: it's not an error to try to
read at the end of the file.

Reading past the end should return EOF (0), not EINVAL.

See for example

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1649342
  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2016-12/msg00008.html

where a md5sum of a maximally sized file fails because the final read is
exactly at s_maxbytes.
