It's a pure move - modulo changed line breaks in the argument lists the functions involved are identical before and after that (just checked that directly, by checking out the trees before and after, extracting two functions in question from fs/read_write.c and lib/iov_iter.c (before and after, resp.) and checking the diff between those. How certain is your bisection?
