Subject: [GIT PULL] afs: Split readpage and fix file creation mtime

Hi Linus,

Can you pull these afs patches please?  There are two of them:

 (1) Split the readpage handler for symlinks from the one for files.  The
     symlink readpage isn't given a file pointer, so the handling has to be
     special-cased.

     This has been posted as part of a patchset to foliate netfs, afs,
     etc.[1] but I've moved it to this one as it's not actually doing
     foliation but is more of a pre-cleanup.

 (2) Fix file creation to set the mtime from the client's clock to keep
     make happy if the server's clock isn't quite in sync.[2]

Thanks,
David
