Maybe the below patch is what you had in mind?  That way if fscache
is enabled, nfs_readpage() should behave the same way as if it's not,
for the case where an IO error occurs in the NFS read completion
path.

If we call into fscache and we get back that the IO has been submitted,
wait until it is completed, so we'll catch any IO errors in the read completion
path.  This does not solve the "catch the internal errors", IOW, the
ones that show up as pg_error, that will probably require copying
pg_error into nfs_open_context.error field.
