Since the control over the files layout driver is tighter, how about reversing
the logic and set a PNFS_IO_RPC flag for the files layout and MDS I/O
(and possibly future layout drivers that will use rpc to do DS I/O).

Also, how would pnfs4_read_done be called if the layout driver didn't
perform an rpc to do the I/O?
