    bcachefs: Fix UAF in bchfs_read()
    
    Commit 3ba0240a8789 fixed a bug in the read retry path in __bch2_read(),
    and changed bchfs_read() to match - to avoid a landmine if
    bch2_read_extent() ever starts returning transaction restarts.
    
    But that was incorrect, because bchfs_read() doesn't use a separate
    stack allocated bvec_iter, it uses the one in the rbio being submitted.
    
    Add a comment explaining the issue, and revert the buggy change.
