For more than 15 years this code has passed in a request for a page and masked off that page when read/writing. This code has been here forever, but FIELD_PREP finds the bug when converted to use it. Change the code to do exactly the same thing but allow the conversion to FIELD_PREP in a later patch. To make it clear what we lost when making this change I left a comment, but there is no point to change the code to generate a correct sequence at this point. This is not a Fixes tagged patch on purpose because it doesn't change the binary output.

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 Restructured Text 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.
