The generic callers of direct_IO lock i_mutex before doing a write. NFS doesn't use the generic write code, so it doesn't follow this convention. This is now a problem because the interface introduced for swap-over-NFS calls direct_IO for a write without holding i_mutex, but other implementations of direct_IO will expect to have it locked.
