[PATCH] Don't mark_inode_dirty_sync() while holding lock

[Weston Andros Adamson <dros@netapp.com>]

mark_inode_dirty_sync() grabs the same inode lock!

race conditions between holding the lock in pnfs_set_layoutcommit() and in
mark_inode_dirty_sync() can result in a second call to pnfs_layoutcommit_inode(), but
this will be a noop as NFS_INO_LAYOUTCOMMIT won't be set in the second call
