I'm not sure how other folks think.

Yet in principle, personally I think it's reasonable that
something like read_cache_page_gfp() could be used directly
with fscache backend as well.

So for such internal read requests, @file argument is
actually optional as a common practice.

Apart from the commit message itself (which I think it could
be simplified a bit), generally it looks good to me.

Thanks,
