It's not sufficient to skip reading when the pos is beyond the EOF. There may be data at the head of the page that we need to fill in before the write. Add a new helper function that corrects and clarifies the logic of when we can skip reads, and have it only zero out the part of the page that won't have data copied in for the write. Finally, don't set the page Uptodate after zeroing. It's not up to date since the write data won't have been copied in yet.
