Fix an upstream merge resolution issue[1]. Prior to the netfs read
healpers, the SMB1 asynchronous read callback, cifs_readv_worker()
performed the cleanup for the operation in the network message processing
loop, potentially slowing down the processing of incoming SMB messages.
With commit a68c74865f51 ("cifs: Fix SMB1 readv/writev callback in the same
way as SMB2/3"), this was moved to a worker thread (as is done in the
SMB2/3 transport variant). However, the "was_async" argument to
netfs_subreq_terminated (which was originally incorrectly "false" got
flipped to "true" - which was then incorrect because, being in a kernel
thread, it's not in an async context).
This got corrected in the sample merge[2], but Linus, not unreasonably,
switched it back to its previous value.
Note that this value tells netfslib whether or not it can run sleepable
stuff or stuff that takes a long time, such as retries and cleanups, in the
calling thread, or whether it should offload to a worker thread.
Fix this so that it is "false". The callback to netfslib in both SMB1 and
SMB2/3 now gets offloaded from the network message thread to a separate
worker thread and thus it's fine to do the slow work in this thread.
