This change probably makes sense regardless although I'd suggest to
simplify it:

	-		wait_on_page_locked_killable(page);
	+		error = wait_on_page_locked_killable(page);
	+		if (unlikely(error))
	+			goto readpage_error;


but it looks off-topic. And the changelog looks misleading/wrong.

I do not think this change makes sense in this debugging session,

Oleg.
