Well, if even this fails, you have bigger troubles than read_retry being
enabled.

I don't see the difference with the previous solution. If it fails, it's
exactly the same.

Please do not add a function call to *every* read regardless of the fact
that we enabled read_retry (which I think is what you are suggesting).
