yes, nfs_commit_file() creates a new request via nfs_create_request()
and in the end if calls nfs_free_request();

so nfs_commit_release_pages() thru the
nfs_unlock_and_release_request() is going to call
nfs_release_request() from req->wb_kref.. I'm not sure if this is
setup(?) for the copy commit path?

Otherwise, it would have seem that we'd be doing a double free and I
haven't seen that in testing (not that it can't be true)...
