During the fstests run for btrfs subpage read-write support, generic/475

It turns out the cause is also affecting btrfs subpage read-only mount
so it's worthy a quick fix.
Also the crash call site shows a new rabbit hole of hard coded
PAGE_SHIFT in readahead.
There's still a lot of PAGE_SHIFT use, not all of them are wrong but I
think we'll need to do an audit and categorize the valid uses, otherwise
it'll be a whack-a-mole.
Already did that.
The current valid use case for PAGE_SHIFT are:
- Grab page
Including:
* compression
* raid56
* relocation
* buffered write in file.c
* sb cross page check in volumes.c
* send
* zoned
* sb rw in disk-io.c
* tree csum in disk-io.c
* free space cache v1
- Some legacy code still runs in full page mode
Including:
* defrag
- Verification code
That part has way more hardcoded part to be addressed.
Will be addressed in the final part, along with selftest enhancement.
Although there can be something missing, I believe it shouldn't be that
hard to hit during fstests then.
Thanks,
