How about the attached instead?

commit 29b3e9eed616db01f15c7998c062b4e501ea6582

    netfs: Pass flag rather than use in_softirq()
    
    The in_softirq() in netfs_rreq_terminated() works fine for the cache being
    on a normal disk, as the completion handlers may get called in softirq
    context, but for an NVMe drive, the completion handler may get called in
    IRQ context.
    
    Fix to pass a flag to netfs_subreq_terminated() to indicate whether we
    think the function isn't being called from a context in which we can do
    allocations, waits and I/O submissions (such as softirq or interrupt
    context).  If this flag is set, netfs lib has to punt to a worker thread to
    handle anything like that.
    
    The symptom involves warnings like the following appearing and the kernel
    hanging:
    
     WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/softirq.c:175 __local_bh_enable_ip+0x35/0x50
