This was previously reported and replied to at
https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-devel/2016-January/020289.html

Though the patches linked there are sufficient to permit the build to
complete, there are some more subtle behavior changes in the kernel in
that some of the splice functions will now return ERESTARTSYS if there is
any signal pending in the current process.  In particular, there are
presumed to be codepaths for which we do not have proper error handling,
that could lead to data loss.  Further analysis is needed (which I am not
prepared to undertake at present).
