Trond Myklebust 5d47a35600 NFS: Fix a potential file corruption issue when writing
If the inode is flagged as having an invalid mapping, then we can't rely on
the PageUptodate() flag. Ensure that we don't use the "anti-fragmentation"
write optimisation in nfs_updatepage(), since that will cause NFS to write
out areas of the page that are no longer guaranteed to be up to date.

A potential corruption could occur in the following scenario:

client 1			client 2
===============			===============
				fd=open("f",O_CREAT|O_WRONLY,0644);
				write(fd,"fubar\n",6);	// cache last page
				close(fd);
fd=open("f",O_WRONLY|O_APPEND);
write(fd,"foo\n",4);
close(fd);

				fd=open("f",O_WRONLY|O_APPEND);
				write(fd,"bar\n",4);
				close(fd);
-----
The bug may lead to the file "f" reading 'fubar\n\0\0\0\nbar\n' because
client 2 does not update the cached page after re-opening the file for
write. Instead it keeps it marked as PageUptodate() until someone calls
invaldate_inode_pages2() (typically by calling read()).
