Olga Kornievskaia 5d3869a41f NFS: fix writeback in presence of errors
After running xfstest generic/751, in certain conditions, can have
a writeback IO stuck while experiencing one of the two patterns.

Pattern#1: writeback IO experiences ENOSPC on an offset smaller
than the filesize. Example,
write offset=0 len=4096 how=unstable OK
write offset=8192 len=4096 how=unstable OK
write offset=12288 len=4096 how=unstable ENOSPC
write offset=4096 len=4096 how=unstable ENOSPC
client sends a commit and receives a verifier which is different
from the last successful write. It marks pages dirty and writeback
retries. But it again send writes unstable and gets into the same
pattern, running into the ENOSPC error and sending a commit because
writes were sent at unstable.

Pattern#2: an unstable write followed by a short write and ENOSPC.
write offset=0 len=4096 how=unstable OK
write offset=4096 len=4096 how=unstable returns OK but count=100
write offset=4197 len=3996 how=stable returns ENOSPC
client send a commit and receives a verifier different from
the last unstable write. The same behaviour is retried in a loop.

Instead, this patch proposes to identify those conditions and mark
requests to be done synchronously instead. Previous solution tried
to mark it in the nfs_page, however that's not persistent thus
instead mark it in the nfs_open_context.

Furthermore, the same problem occurs during localio code path so
recognize that IO needs to be done sync in that case as well.
