Looking at commit 06216ecbd9368 (
https://git.linux-nfs.org/?p=trondmy/linux-nfs.git;a=commitdiff;h=06216ecbd9368
) it is not actually changing the Linux-5.9 code, but is just
performing a trivial refactoring of that code into a new function. I'm
OK with that.

The rest of the READ code looks unchanged to me.
