We can see following loop(10000 times) in trace_log:

Reason:
If more than one user trigger reada in same extent, the first task
finished setting of reada data struct and call reada_start_machine()
to start, and the second task only add a ref_count but have not
add reada_extctl struct completely, the reada_extent can not finished
all jobs, and will be selected in __reada_start_machine() for 10000
times(total times in __reada_start_machine()).
Fix:
For a reada_extent without job, we don't need to run it, just return
0 to let caller break.
