Subject: mm: simplify filemap_nopage
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxx>
Identical block is duplicated twice: contrary to the comment, we have been
re-reading the page *twice* in filemap_nopage rather than once.
If any retry logic or anything is needed, it belongs in lower levels anyway.
Only retry once. Linus agrees.
