The struct nfs_open_context holds a reference to the dentry (which
holds a reference to the inode) and to the superblock. The struct
nfs_page that is tracking page dirtiness then holds a reference to the
nfs_open_context.

That mechanism ensures the inode cannot be evicted until all dirty
pages have been either flushed or cancelled. The only thing we need to
worry about is the delegation and the pNFS layout since neither one is
allowed to reference the inode in any way (because otherwise they would
prevent the memory reclaim mechanisms from working).
