rhel8/9: "kernel: FS-Cache: Duplicate cookie detected" messages on mounting multiple NFS at the same time

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

We mount multiple shares from an NFS server at boot, like this in /etc/fstab:

192.168.4.1:/mnt/store/tmp      /mnt/tmp        nfs defaults 0 0
192.168.4.1:/mnt/store/tmp2     /mnt/tmp2       nfs defaults 0 0

On system boot, we see this on the console:
