Calling fput() directly or though filp_close() from a kernel thread like
nfsd causes the final __fput() (if necessary) to be called from a
workqueue.  This means that nfsd is not forced to wait for any work to
complete.  If the ->release or ->destroy_inode function is slow for any
reason, this can result in nfsd closing files more quickly than the
workqueue can complete the close and the queue of pending closes can
grow without bounces (30 million has been seen at one customer site,
though this was in part due to a slowness in xfs which has since been
fixed).

nfsd does not need this.  It is quite appropriate and safe for nfsd to
do its own close work.  There is no reason that close should ever wait
for nfsd, so no deadlock can occur.

It should be safe and sensible to change all fput() calls to
__fput_sync().  However in the interests of caution this patch only
changes two - the two that can be most directly affected by client
behaviour and could occur at high frequency.

- the fput() implicitly in flip_close() is changed to __fput_sync()
  by calling get_file() first to ensure filp_close() doesn't do
  the final fput() itself.  If is where files opened for IO are closed.

- the fput() in nfsd_read() is also changed.  This is where directories
  opened for readdir are closed.

This ensure that minimal fput work is queued to the workqueue.

This removes the need for the flush_delayed_fput() call in
nfsd_file_close_inode_sync()
