Fix an upstream merge resolution issue[1]. The NETFS_SREQ_HIT_EOF flag,

saw it added in the netfslib read improvements[2], but it was also added,
and slightly differently, in a fix that was committed before v6.11:

netfs, cifs: Fix handling of short DIO read
However, the code added to smb2_readv_callback() to set the flag in didn't
get removed when the netfs read improvements series was rebased to take
account of the cifs fixes. The proposed merge resolution[2] deleted it
rather than rebase the patches.
Fix this by removing the redundant lines. Code to set the bit that derives
from the fix patch is still there, a few lines above in the source.

cifs: Fix cifs readv callback merge resolution issue
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

There's one less visible change that could have a high impact. The

operation. In the buffered read case it's left to page or inode lock,
some direct io read synchronization is still needed.
This used to prevent deadlocks induced by page faults during direct
io, so there was a 4K limitation on the requests, e.g. for io_uring.
In the future this will allow smoother integration with iomap where

supply iterate_and_advance() with a step function that might sleep
