netfslib has a number of places in which it performs iteration of an xarray
whilst being under the RCU read lock.  It *should* call xas_retry() as the
first thing inside of the loop and do "continue" if it returns true in case
the xarray walker passed out a special value indicating that the walk needs
to be redone from the root[*].

Fix this by adding the missing retry checks.

[*] I wonder if this should be done inside xas_find(), xas_next_node() and
    suchlike, but I'm told that's not an simple change to effect.

This can cause an oops like that below.  Note the faulting address - this
is an internal value (|0x2) returned from xarray.

Changes:
========
ver #2)
 - Changed an unsigned int to a size_t to reduce the likelihood of an
   overflow as per Willy's suggestion.
 - Added an additional patch to fix the maths.

[vpeixoto: a manual backport was necessary, as commit 16211268fcb3
("netfs: Split fs/netfs/read_helper.c") is not present in the J:azure
tree, and because 78525c74d9e7 ("netfs, 9p, afs, ceph: Use folios"),
also missing, introduced the usage of folios in netfs. I made the
adjustment from folios->pages and applied the fix to the relevant,
pre-split functions in read_helper.c]
