A pNFS server may return LAYOUTUNAVAILABLE error on LAYOUTGET for files which don't have any layout. In this situation pnfs_update_layout currently returns NULL. As this NULL is converted into ENOMEM, IO requests fails instead of falling back to MDS. Do not return ENOMEM on LAYOUTUNAVAILABLE and let client retry through MDS. Fixes 8d40b0f14846f. I will suggest to backport this fix to affected stable branches.
