netfs: Fix hang due to missing case in final DIO read result collection

When doing a DIO read, if the subrequests we issue fail and cause the
request PAUSE flag to be set to put a pause on subrequest generation, we
may complete collection of the subrequests (possibly discarding them) prior
to the ALL_QUEUED flags being set.

In such a case, netfs_read_collection() doesn't see ALL_QUEUED being set
after netfs_collect_read_results() returns and will just return to the app
(the collector can be seen unpausing the generator in the trace log).

The subrequest generator can then set ALL_QUEUED and the app thread reaches
netfs_wait_for_request().  This causes netfs_collect_in_app() to be called
to see if we're done yet, but there's missing case here.

netfs_collect_in_app() will see that a thread is active and set inactive to
false, but won't see any subrequests in the read stream, and so won't set
need_collect to true.  The function will then just return 0, indicating
that the caller should just sleep until further activity (which won't be
forthcoming) occurs.

Fix this by making netfs_collect_in_app() check to see if an active thread
is complete - i.e. that ALL_QUEUED is set and the subrequests list is empty
- and to skip the sleep return path.  The collector will then be called
which will clear the request IN_PROGRESS flag, allowing the app to
progress.
