[PATCH 04/15] NFS: Fix up fsync() when the server rebooted

[Trond Myklebust <trondmy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Don't clear the NFS_CONTEXT_RESEND_WRITES flag until after calling
nfs_commit_inode(). Otherwise, if nfs_commit_inode() returns an
error, we end up with dirty pages in the page cache, but no tag
to tell us that those pages need resending.
