staging: erofs: fix mis-acted TAIL merging behavior

EROFS has an optimized path called TAIL merging, which is designed
to merge multiple reads and the corresponding decompressions into
one if these requests read continuous pages almost at the same time.

In general, it behaves as follows:
 ________________________________________________________________
  ... |  TAIL  .  HEAD  |  PAGE  |  PAGE  |  TAIL    . HEAD | ...
 _____|_combined page A_|________|________|_combined page B_|____
        1  ]  ->  [  2                          ]  ->  [ 3
If the above three reads are requested in the order 1-2-3, it will
generate a large work chain rather than 3 individual work chains
to reduce scheduling overhead and boost up sequential read.

However, if Read 2 is processed slightly earlier than Read 1,
currently it still generates 2 individual work chains (chain 1, 2)
but it does in-place decompression for combined page A, moreover,
if chain 2 decompresses ahead of chain 1, it will be a race and
lead to corrupted decompressed page. This patch fixes it.
