    NFSv4.1: Clean ups and bugfixes for the pNFS read/writeback/commit code · 8dd37758

    Move more pnfs-isms out of the generic commit code.
    
    Bugfixes:
    
    - filelayout_scan_commit_lists doesn't need to get/put the lseg.
      In fact since it is run under the inode->i_lock, the lseg_put()
      can deadlock.
    
    - Ensure that we distinguish between what needs to be done for
      commit-to-data server and what needs to be done for commit-to-MDS
      using the new flag PG_COMMIT_TO_DS. Otherwise we may end up calling
      put_lseg() on a bucket for a struct nfs_page that got written
      through the MDS.
    
    - Fix a case where we were using list_del() on an nfs_page->wb_list
      instead of list_del_init().
    
    - filelayout_initiate_commit needs to call filelayout_commit_release
      on error instead of the mds_ops->rpc_release(). Otherwise it won't
      clear the commit lock.
    
    Cleanups:
    
    - Let the files layout manage the commit lists for the pNFS case.
      Don't expose stuff like pnfs_choose_commit_list, and the fact
      that the commit buckets hold references to the layout segment
      in common code.
    
    - Cast out the put_lseg() calls for the struct nfs_read/write_data->lseg
      into the pNFS layer from whence they came.
    
    - Let the pNFS layer manage the NFS_INO_PNFS_COMMIT bit.
