dm: use i_size_read

Use i_size_read() instead of reading i_size.

If someone changes the size of the device simultaneously, i_size_read
is guaranteed to return a valid value (either the old one or the new one).

i_size can return some intermediate invalid value (on 32-bit computers
with 64-bit i_size, the reads to both halves of i_size can be interleaved
with updates to i_size, resulting in garbage being returned).
