Since nfs_scan_list() doesn't wait for locked pages, we have a race in
which it is possible to end up with an inode that needs to send a COMMIT,
but which does not have the I_DIRTY_DATASYNC flag set.

If the caller is doing a non-blocking flush, and there are still writebacks
pending on the wire, we can usually defer the COMMIT call until those
writes are done.

Also ensure that we honour the wbc->nonblocking flag.

In order to know when we should do opportunistic commits of the unstable

The sole purpose of nfs_write_inode is to commit unstable writes, so
move it into fs/nfs/write.c, and make nfs_commit_inode static.

This gives the filesystem more information about the writeback that
is happening.  Trond requested this for the NFS unstable write handling,
and other filesystems might benefit from this too by beeing able to
distinguish between the different callers in more detail.

Similar to the fsync issue fixed a while ago in commit
2daea67e we need to write for data to
actually hit the disk before writing out the metadata to guarantee
data integrity for filesystems that modify the inode in the data I/O
completion path.  Currently XFS and NFS handle this manually, and AFS
has a write_inode method that does nothing but waiting for data, while
others are possibly missing out on this.

Fortunately this change has a lot less impact than the fsync change
as none of the write_inode methods starts data writeout of any form
by itself.

If we'd passed through 32 trailing symlinks already, there's
no sense following the 33rd - we'll bail out anyway.  Better
bugger off earlier.

It *does* change behaviour, after a fashion - if the 33rd happens
to be a procfs-style symlink, original code *would* allow it.
