Since nfsd_create_setattr strips the mode from the struct iattr, it is quite possible that it will optimise away the call to nfsd_setattr altogether. If this is the case, then we never call commit_metadata() on the newly created file. Also ensure that both nfsd_setattr() and nfsd_create_setattr() fail when the call to commit_metadata fails.
