Due to change 8cfb9015280d ("NFS: Always provide aligned buffers to the
RPC read layers"), a read of 0xfff is aligned up to server rsize of
0x1000.

As a result, in a test where the server has a file of size
0x7fffffffffffffff, and the client tries to read from the offset
0x7ffffffffffff000, the read causes loff_t overflow in the server and it
returns an NFS code of EINVAL to the client. The client as a result
indefinitely retries the request.

This fixes the issue by cancelling the alignment for that case.

NACK. This would be a server bug, not a client bug. The NFS protocol
has no notion of signed offsets, and doesn't use loff_t.
