Oops... Yes, that needs to be fixed, and we should probably make
nfs_set_page_tag_locked() safe too.

How about the following? I can't seem to find any further dereferences
of req->wb_context after the nfs_clear_request().

We can fix this by making the call to put_nfs_open_context() happen when we
actually remove the write request from the inode (which is done by the
nfsiod thread in this case).
