Subject: 2.6.23 regression: second access of empty ntfs file leads to D
	state hang

Greetings,

I've stumbled across a 2.6.22->2.6.23 regression.  First md5sum access
of an empty NTFS file leads to kernel I/O error gripe, a second access
leaves md5sum hung.  2.6.22.10 has no trouble accessing this file.

Looking at the 22->23 diff, I don't see a quick and dirty stab
candidate, and since I'm preparing for a 5 week separation from my box
<twitch>, I doubt I'll have time to do a bisect.  /me punts.
