nfsd: allow fh_want_write to be called twice
A fuzzer recently triggered lockdep warnings about potential sb_writers
deadlocks caused by fh_want_write().
Looks like we aren't careful to pair each fh_want_write() with an
fh_drop_write().
It's not normally a problem since fh_put() will call fh_drop_write() for
us. And was OK for NFSv3 where we'd do one operation that might call
fh_want_write(), and then put the filehandle.
But an NFSv4 protocol fuzzer can do weird things like call unlink twice
in a compound, and then we get into trouble.
I'm a little worried about this approach of just leaving everything to
fh_put(). But I think there are probably a lot of
fh_want_write()/fh_drop_write() imbalances so for now I think we need it
to be more forgiving.
