Hum, we have:

                if (!PageUptodate(page)) {
                        /*
                         * See comment in do_read_cache_page on why
                         * wait_on_page_locked is used to avoid
                         * unnecessarily
                         * serialisations and why it's safe.
                         */
                        error = wait_on_page_locked_killable(page);
                        if (unlikely(error))
                                goto readpage_error;
                        if (PageUptodate(page))
                                goto page_ok;

And wait_on_page_locked_killable() above does not seem to be handled in
your patch. I would just check IOCB_NOWAIT in !PageUptodate(page) branch
above and bail - which also removes the need for the two checks below...
