commit 33e3950dc2eae7484e79685083c304d93013e3ec

    nfsd: fix double-locks of directory mutex
    
    A number of nfsd operations depend on the i_mutex to cover more code
    than just the fsync, so the approach of 4c728ef583b3d8 "add a vfs_fsync
    helper" doesn't work for nfsd.  Revert the parts of those patches that
    touch nfsd, and remove the logic from vfs_nfsd that was needed only for
    the special case of nfsd.
