Didn't hit that particular oops with that anymore in several LTP runs and
your patch applied, but got this data corruption:

doio(rwtest04) (20172) 19:01:03

*** DATA COMPARISON ERROR ***

---------------------
(parent) pid 20172 exited because of data compare errors


To reproduce: run runltplite.sh of LTP over NFS a few times
