Subject: NFSv4.1/pnfs: Fix atomicity of commit list updates

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@primarydata.com>

commit 86d80f973434de24d8a807a92cd59d5ced7bd519 upstream.

pnfs_layout_mark_request_commit() needs to ensure that it adds the
request to the commit list atomically with all the other updates
in order to prevent corruption to buckets[ds_commit_idx].wlseg
due to races with pnfs_generic_clear_request_commit().

Fixes: 338d00cfef07d ("pnfs: Refactor the *_layout_mark_request_commit...")
