The following series fixes a couple of serious problems in the pNFS
GETLAYOUT client code.

  - Routines that may be run in the NFS writeback path may not allocate
    memory using GFP_KERNEL.
  - It is illegal for an asynchronous RPC callback function to make
    synchronous RPC calls.

Please note that this is by no means an exhaustive list of the above two
types of bug...
