NFS: avoid infinite loop in pnfs_update_layout.
[ Upstream commit 2fdbc20036acda9e5694db74a032d3c605323005 ]
If pnfsd_update_layout() is called on a file for which recovery has
failed it will enter a tight infinite loop.
NFS_LAYOUT_INVALID_STID will be set, nfs4_select_rw_stateid() will
return -EIO, and nfs4_schedule_stateid_recovery() will do nothing, so
nfs4_client_recover_expired_lease() will not wait. So the code will
loop indefinitely.
Break the loop by testing the validity of the open stateid at the top of
the loop.
