pnfs: defer release of pages in layoutget
commit 8554116e17eef055d9dd58a94b3427cb2ad1c317 upstream.
we have encountered a bug whereby reading a lot of files (copying
fedora's /bin) from a pNFS mount and hitting Ctrl+C in the middle caused
a general protection fault in xdr_shrink_bufhead. this function is
called when decoding the response from LAYOUTGET. the decoding is done
by a worker thread, and the caller of LAYOUTGET waits for the worker
thread to complete.
hitting Ctrl+C caused the synchronous wait to end and the next thing the
caller does is to free the pages, so when the worker thread calls
xdr_shrink_bufhead, the pages are gone. therefore, the cleanup of these
pages has been moved to nfs4_layoutget_release.
