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 a68c7486 ("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 calling thread, or whether it should offload to a worker thread. Fix this so that it is "false". The callback to netfslib in both SMB1 and SMB2/3 now gets offloaded from the network message thread to a separate worker thread and thus it's fine to do the slow work in this thread.
