"b4 am" and other tooling failed to recognize the diff content in
this email, so I've applied Al's version to nfsd's for-rc, after
running some regression tests. See:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux.git/log/?h=for-rc

I will see that a pull request is sent to Linus before 6.1-rc7.

Thanks for reporting and chasing this down.
