[PATCH 1/1] NFSv4 fix CLOSE not waiting for direct IO compeletion

[Olga Kornievskaia <olga.kornievskaia@gmail.com>]

Figuring out the root case for the REMOVE/CLOSE race and
suggesting the solution was done by Neil Brown.

Currently what happens is that direct IO calls hold a reference
on the open context which is decremented as an asynchronous task
in the nfs_direct_complete(). Before reference is decremented,
control is returned to the application which is free to close the
file. When close is being processed, it decrements its reference
on the open_context but since directIO still holds one, it doesn't
sent a close on the wire. It returns control to the application
which is free to do other operations. For instance, it can delete a
file. Direct IO is finally releasing its reference and triggering
an asynchronous close. Which races with the REMOVE. On the server,
REMOVE can be processed before the CLOSE, failing the REMOVE with
EACCES as the file is still opened.
