Olga reported a case of data corruption in a situation where two clients
(v3 and v4) were alternately doing open/write/close the same file.
Looking at captures, the v3 client failed to perform any of the GETATTR
calls for CTO during one of the events, leading it to overwrite some
data that had been written by the v4 client.
We have two calls that work similarly: put_nfs_open_context and
put_nfs_open_context_sync. The only difference is the is_sync parameter
that gets passed to close_context. The only caller of the _sync variant
is in the close codepath.
On a v2/3 mount, if the last reference is not put by
put_nfs_open_context_sync, then CTO revalidation never happens. Fix this
by adding a new flag to nfs_open_context and set that in
put_nfs_open_context_sync. In nfs_close_context, check for that flag
when we're checking is_sync and treat them as equivalent.

I'm not sure this is the right fix. Maybe we'd be better off just
ignoring the is_sync parameter in nfs_close_context? It's probably
functionally equivalent anyway.
Thoughts?
