nfs: fix UAF in direct writes
[ Upstream commit 17f46b803d4f23c66cacce81db35fef3adb8f2af ]
In production we have been hitting the following warning consistently
------------[ cut here ]------------
refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.

This is because we're completing the nfs_direct_request twice in a row.
The source of this is when we have our commit requests to submit, we
process them and send them off, and then in the completion path for the
commit requests we have
if (nfs_commit_end(cinfo.mds))
nfs_direct_write_complete(dreq);
However since we're submitting asynchronous requests we sometimes have
one that completes before we submit the next one, so we end up calling
complete on the nfs_direct_request twice.
The only other place we use nfs_generic_commit_list() is in
__nfs_commit_inode, which wraps this call in a
nfs_commit_begin();
nfs_commit_end();
Which is a common pattern for this style of completion handling, one
that is also repeated in the direct code with get_dreq()/put_dreq()
calls around where we process events as well as in the completion paths.
Fix this by using the same pattern for the commit requests.
Before with my 200 node rocksdb stress running this warning would pop
every 10ish minutes. With my patch the stress test has been running for
several hours without popping.
