Subject: NFS: Fix a race between mmap() and O_DIRECT

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@primarydata.com>

commit e231c6879cfd44e4fffd384bb6dd7d313249a523 upstream.

When locking the file in order to do O_DIRECT on it, we must unmap
any mmapped ranges on the pagecache so that we can flush out the
dirty data.

Fixes: a5864c999de67 ("NFS: Do not serialise O_DIRECT reads and writes")
