Please rebase this on top of the most recent for-next code as it seems to
have developed a context conflict with a recently applied change.

Why do you pass headers to it as this function seems to not need them?

(This could be a leftover from the common decoding approach which is no
longer pursued, I don't remember how it worked here).

Please also note the sashiko's uninitialized headers comment (which
changes assumptions made in patch 5) which I also mentioned in patch 5
comments. But it looks to me pmt_get_headers() could copy directly to
->disc_header and avoid that problem altogether (the entry reuse still
looks a problem though which can leave pseudogarbage into the tail of
->disc_header).
