Oops, my bad. While refreshing the original patch against the latest
kernel, I seemed to have introduced an extra argument while attempting
to limit the characters to 80. Extremely sorry about that.

The original patch was tested by mounting a NFS share with fscache
option enabled, do a md5sum on a nfs file larger than 2GB and ensure
that the file is getting cached by fscache (watch cache size growing)
on x86_64. 

Please find below the fixed one.
