We queue up inodes to be defrag'ed asynchronously, which means we do not
have their original file for readahead.  This means that the code to
skip readahead on pre-content watched files will not run, and we could
potentially read in empty pages.

Handle this corner case by disabling defrag on files that are currently
being watched for pre-content events.

IIUC, you are disabling the *start* of async defrag.
What happens if defrag has already started and then a pre-content
watch is set up?

Do we care about this corner of a corner case?

Thanks,
Amir.
