There are two helpers here, one assigns and increments the node ref count, and the other is simply a wrapper around that for the buffer node handling. The buffer node assignment benefits from checking and setting REQ_F_BUF_NODE together, otherwise stalls have been observed on setting that flag later in the process. Hence re-do it so that it's set when checked, and cleared in case of (unlikely) failure. With that, the buffer node helper can go, and then drop the generic io_req_assign_rsrc_node() helper as well as there's only a single user of it left at that point.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
