That's okay.  Basically, a read-from-cache operation was rejected because the
cache object was in the early phase of being invalidated.  I kept it simple
here - the read might complete next time it is tried, but it's just a cache so
that shouldn't matter.

Did you look at /proc/fs/fscache/stats at all?

That fits with the previous BUG elsewhere in object-list.c.  It sounds like
there's a refcounting problem somewhere.
