[pnfs] CVS: nfsv4

[Marc Eshel]

What exactly is the problem? Can't you remove the pointer current_layout 
from the inode (set it to NULL) and than you can either free it even 
before the async call or if you need it for some reason free it in 
rpc_call_done ? 
I think that this call should be async.
Marc.
