3.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Weston Andros Adamson <dros@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 94970014c46223cbcdfbfc67b89596a412f9e3dd upstream. This fixes handling of errors from nfs_page_group_lock in nfs_lock_and_join_requests. It now releases the inode lock and the reference to the head request.
